The Zerg race has just been unveiled at a press event in Korea.
More news as it breaks: images, video, etc.

Original Units Kept
Overlord
Zergling
Hydralisk - ?
Mutalisk
Infested Terran
Lurker - No longer invisible on Burrow
Ultralisk
Queen - Drastically changed. More to come on this.

New Units
Baneling
Roach
Infestor - Replaces Defiler. Casts Dark Swarm.
Corruptor - "corrupts" instead of attacking air units. Causes them to fight each other.
Swarm Guardian - Similar to original Guardian but can now create broodlings.

For the record, Hydras are staying to, at first I thought they weren't, but you can see them in the screenshots from sc2pod. (http://www.sc2pod.com/img/gallery/257.jpg)

If we are pointing out different details (as with the Lurkers), Ultras can burrow now too.

I look forward to more exciting names, thats for sure...

zerg without Hydralisks are like protoss without zelots and humans/terans without marins its just something you dont do but like neo said iv seen them in litte clips and shots of the game so i think its very safe to say that the Hydralisks are in starcraft 2

YEESSSSSSSSS!!!!! This is ****ing awsome!!!!! The hydras seem much better with a melee attack. Also the roach seems really cool although kinda unfair but not really. I also cant wait for the zerg ultimate unit to come out (Protoss: Mothership Terrans: Thor/Battlecruiser). The ultralisk looks really awsome with burrow also.

MedavassD.

P.S. The Infestor seems much better being able to move under ground. Good choice on that unit Blizzard! I can definetly see more units with much better abilities coming out due to the overlord detector upgrade and the lurker-burrow-visibility.

Oh yeah. And the infested terrans replaced by the banelings so no the zerg have their own marine . PEACE!!!
