Species so far?

[Rick Whitechest]

What's the playable species confirmed so far? I think I can identify humans, rabbits, deer, otters(?), frogs(?), bears, foxes...

[Phreaked]

There is a badger on one of the boats, idk if its playable but definitely in the game world.

[Rocky Raccy]

Looks like there's wolves too
Hoping for raccoons

[Echsrick]

needs lizard/dragon race playable

[Spicy_Pickle]

From what we could see:

1. Human (Given)
2. Rabbitfolk
3. Drow (Looked to be a white hair, pale skinned Elf?
4. Badgerfolk
5. Dragonkin (Horned person)

I assume because we have varying height profiles we will also see the following:

1. Dwarves
2. Elves
3. Lizardfolk

I bet it will be like NMS with bodytypes and just different heads which they will add more over time.... basicly a Fantasy NMS

[Cackles]

For the ones I could make out

On the humanoid side
Humans of course
Some sort of horned humanoid

On the beastkin side
Rabbits
Deer
Badger
Fox/Wolves [Probably a general canid type of base]

If NMS's style of customization is anything to go by, likely will be a mix of heads, tails, and skin/fur patterns to mix and match between

Was certainly some more head shapes I saw but they were too out of focus or obscured by something else to tell what kind

[Xaton]

i saw a frog like head in there the short squaty guy that was on the right when running in the field. so maybe frog race or chamilion which seems logical dont have to change much on Gek to make it a another race

[hecticole]

lest hope they each species have attributes

[Cackles]

After watching the trailer again on my biggest possible screen and the highest resolution, I'm now 100% certain on Otters being in the game too

Given Hello Game's "play how ever you want" approach I think there will not be any set player classes or species and you will probably be able to change your avatar at will. I think they will have a variety of heads and body types that you can mix and match. What they probably will not have is your typical elf, dwarf, ect.

There are some fantasy humans too, dwarves are a given cause they have the same selection of body types NMS does. Now if there's a bunch of big bushy beards to choose from, that's yet to be seen.

I also saw a character with a human head but deer like ears, so might be faun like looks too

[Milacetious]

Did anyone see the rabbit men and have flash backs of drop kicking wolf men?

[DrMadHatten]

I get very big Brian Jacques "Redwall series" vibes from the playable species. Brian Jacques was a British fantasy novelist and could very well have been an influence for the games. The books were coming out at the time the developers were likely of an age to have read them.

I myself read them as a child and adored them. But they are unmistakably for children.

Hope this helps? I think I just wanted to flex.

Short body + human head = dwarf
Tall human + pointy ears = elf or vulcan

My point is with a free form character creator you can make also anything you want. The player character might be something analogous to the NMS traveler, not part of any of the indigenous species.
