Races / factions

[BadBorz]

Hello guys ! i know that the pre alpha version is releasing soon and i still dont know how many races/factions we would be able to play? im very impatient for the next news release in the 11 june :D

So far they announced 2, but they will totally announce one more before the full release, they just indicated that too often to only launch with 2. Though most likely not on the pc gaming show, since there the focus is more on gameplay, and so far we only know that the human faction is properly playable.

Also, there is a non low chance that they might add even more factions somewhen after the release. So we might end up with a lot more than just 3. But for the release you better just expect 3.

And in case you are lucky enough to already play in the closed pre/alpha you will only be able to play the human faction, the infernals come somewhen later, though no idea if in the closed alpha or closed beta, but certainly not in the closed prealpha. But for the closed beta you at least would have a decent chance to be selected if you subscribed for it on their website. Even though there is a very small chance that you could already make it into the prealpha ...

We're starting with one, then adding another, and then . . . who knows what happens next!

We have confirmed that we're going to have more than two, in case that helps.

Awesome! I came here to find this exact question. I think 3 or 4 is best. 3 like starcraft or 4 like warcraft 3. Multiple factions makes things interesting. So excited for this game! RTS is the best!

Hero units?

More factions then better. I think 3v3 mode can be more pioneering, with more factions, while 1v1 (e-sports wannabe like) comes less or later new factions.

What could the 3rd faction be? Something like Protos? Or something like elves?

Probably, a faction that focuses on expanding their area like Zerg's creep or Grell's plants
(Grell are an insect faction in ZeroSpace : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePt6OB0dX_4)

Having nature faction that expands its area via plants seem like the most likely option to me.
