In StarCraft II, guardians appear in Legacy of the Void in several missions.

Primal guardians appear as a strain of primal zerg in Heart of the Swarm.

The guardian is virtually identical to how it was in StarCraft, a slow-moving but long range aerial siege flyer. It is appeared as one of the zerg breeds in Amon Brood in Legacy of the Void campaign and as a feral zerg breed in Nova Covert Ops.
