As war rages across the galaxy, the terran, zerg, and protoss are all vying for supremacy in the Koprulu sector. When StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is released, all three races are sure to unleash new weapons of war as they adapt to changing conditions and tactics on the battlefield.



Blizzard will showcase new multiplayer units and abilities for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm at BlizzCon. For those that can’t wait, we’ll offer a teaser silhouette of one new unit on the official StarCraft Facebook page each week for the next three weeks. The first one, a new terran unit, is already featured.



New silhouettes for the zerg and protoss will be unveiled on the official StarCraft Facebook page on October 10 and October 17, respectively. What are they, and how do they fight? The answers will come at BlizzCon. These three units, as well as the rest of the new Heart of the Swarm multiplayer units and abilities, will be unveiled and playable at the show on October 21 and 22.


This was announced on the StarCraft Facebook page:

Offering a unique look at what’s to come in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, this silhouette teases a new, mysterious terran unit. But what could it be?

On Blizzard forums by a blue:

Just for those wondering, the unit we're teasing in this image is planned to be a new multiplayer unit. Stay tuned for more mysterious pictures of new Heart of the Swarm multiplayer units!


Link

Anything could change over the course of development and testing, but I wanted to make it clear that the unit we're teasing here is intended to be usable in multiplayer. This also doesn't speak to what other units could be added, or even what units could be removed, from multiplayer in HotS.

So when are we going to know what this unit is?


I'm not sure. I guess we'll have to look for a good platform or opportunity to make such an announcement...

Why you gotta troll me, Blizz?

We chose the order based on campaign order. Hint. (chill) Hint.

Combat medic imo.

EDIT: Take it back, it's a combat mule. Transform your mule into a melee bio unit. Calling it now.

They did say they might replace some old units, maybe remove reapers and add a new bio unit?

Combat Shields now applies to Marauders, +25 life.

Concussive Shells now makes the Marauder shoot a predator-style shoulder cannon plasma death ball..

It's a mule mixed with a marauder. I can see it now. Battling protoss with one appendage and being op with the other.

I actually have no idea what it could be. Looks very odd. I'm very excited for any new unit in the game though!
