New playable character.

[NILBOG13]

Can I play as the Male version from PVP in the main game?

[WolfishMeat7]

same question, would like to see more characters in general

[WolfishMeat7]

Actually judging by the old footage the game had different main character...

Yep. The demo had a male character. Not sure why they dropped him. Kind of annoying honestly, might as well have given us the choice of either.

exactly, would like to have both options

I like Eva, a gender swap would be a waste of dev time and effort. I'd rather see voice acting over that. The in game sprite doesn't even look female anyway.

Story & character development > customization & identity fulfillment.

so, it wasn't a waste of time before (when it was a male protagonist),but will be now, lol - "makes sense"

Looks like a lot of this game is about their art direction and making sure everything fits. I think canonically it would make sense to play as Aaron or Eva.

Hey! We’re thinking about adding the male gender to the game, but it’s highly unlikely in the foreseeable future. It will increase the process of game localization and other aspects. Now we are focused on other mechanics. I can tell you that the character choice won’t be implemented while the game is in early access, but we’ll see

Its good to see a Dev responding with an open mind, I wasn't trying to start some fight when I posted this.

Male, female, swarmling its all the same really (but no add the swarmling playable character)

[Aldath]

I'd like to see that too. I have no problem playing as female characters, but when trying to immerse yourself in an open world like this it kinda helps to have a "self insert".

This^ If I have a choice I like to make a character as much like myself, but if the main person is set then I have no problem with it hell I have way too many hours on Tomb Raider.

If you don't understand the difference between 1 and 2 I really can't help you there. Swapping a gender is different than having two entirely different genders/sprites/story etc. Not to mention just about any open world story game that has allowed for gender choice tends to have a worse, generic story than something like Witcher 3 with an actual character at the helm.

I have no issues with the game being completely same with just a cosmetic change, i'm not expecting branching dialogues from the game or anything.
