For their upcoming game Ashes of Creation, the developmental team at Intrepid Studios wanted to create a unique MMO experience that allows gamers to make impactful decisions and shape the world of Verra. This thoughtful, dynamic approach extends to the playable races in Ashes of Creation, which will influence how characters advance through Verra and interact with others.
Take your time making your selection, as Steven Sharif, Creative Director at Intrepid Studios, has indicated that players will not be able to change their character’s race: “Your primary archetype selection and your race selection should be—because they have gameplay influences—should be final.”
There are nine playable races, all of which include two factions (except for the Underrealm Tulnar).
Aela Humans
Kaelar
Vaelune
Pyrian Elves
Empyrean
Py’rai
Kaivek Orcs
Ren’Kai
Vek
Dünzenkell Dwarves
Dünir
Niküa
Underrealm
Tulnar
