The new multiplayer units for the terran, zerg, and protoss in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm will be revealed and playable at this year’s BlizzCon. But if you can’t wait till BlizzCon starts on October 21, Blizzard is teasing fans with silhouettes of the new units on the official StarCraft II Facebook page. The teasing starts today with the new terran unit pictured here. Heart of the Swarm’s new zerg unit will be teased on October 10 and the new protoss unit will be teased on October 17.

Expect more details on these new units and abilities later this month from the BlizzCon show floor. GamesRadar will be there, covering the event. In the meantime, you can find out more about Heart of the Swarm’s singleplayer campaign in our hands-on preview.
