Based on a post by a “blue” over at battle.net forums, it looks like the Soul Hunter is going to be cut, at least temporarily. It remains to be seen whether it’ll be present in the final game, but for Blizzcon it looks like a negative. Oh well, the soul hunter’s concept didn’t really excite me all that much, anyway.

Sometimes units will get cut. For example, the Soul Hunter is not going to show at Blizzcon. He appears to have failed his training period. He was kind of cool, but not cool enough. Some other units that you have seen are going through some significant changes. They have adapted and may yet survive. Thats how we do it. Being able to try units out before we decide if they are going to be in the game or not is a huge advantage for our development process and its an opportunity that not every developer gets. Well give you more specific information on the Protoss as we figure it out. Even what you see at Blizzcon will be work-in-progress. After Blizzcon things will most definitely continue to evolve.

Here’s the link to the original thread.
