Burrowing Ultralisks! Hax!

Queen.
It was revealed that the player is only allowed one Queen to be spawned from the Hatchery. The Queen will be more focused on the Zerg base defense and constructing special buildings.

The Queen is now a walker and will learn new abilities by evolving. She can move anywhere within the Zerg base by burrowing while on the creep (timestamp 4:36).

The Queen is capable of killing a Marine in one hit (timestamp 4:22).

Corrupters.
The Corrupters are an Air to Air unit who can possess targets after corrupting them. In the trailer, the corrupters can be seen attacking two Battlecruisers and then possessing them (timestamp 1:59). They also possessed a Viking.

Infesters.
The Infestors can move under the terrain while burrowed, and have the Dark Swarm, Disease and Infestation abilities. They can infest Terran buildings (timestamp 2:45) to produce infested marines. The Infested Marines now attack with rifles instead of exploding.

The Zerg can infest all types of buildings, but only the Infested Marine can currently be created. More might come later.

Roaches.
The Roaches have also been mentioned, maybe they are the units shown between 1:12 and 1:42.

Ultralisks.
The Ultralisks can now burrow and has a cleaving-attack.

Zerglings and Mutalisks
Zerglings, Banelings and Mutalisks are still in the Zerg's lineup, as can be seen many times during the gameplay video - particularly during the final epic battle.

Nice. It looks like StarCraft 2 can handle much more units at the same time without causing tremendous lag.

I wonder.. if it is possible to import own models to SC2's editor, who is able to do this kind of models ;s.

Interview with Dustin Browder about the Zerg.

On those high-res screenshots the Zerg buildings look kinda like plastic toys to me. But maybe that's just me. TT

>"who is able to do this kind of models"

I think Blizzard once said that the Berserker has around 1500 polygons, which is about 3 times the amount of basic WC3 units, that's not that much of a difference.


EDIT:
You can also get the videos in high-res over there!
