Future Races

So on the new Pantheon site races page, https://www.pantheonmmo.com/game/races/ it shows an empty slot that mentions "Future Races."
Then on the concept art page there is this

This is definitely new concept art. Not sure if quietly implying stretch goal race or expansion race. But certainly caught my eye.

I encourage you to go read all the posts on the official forum and watch all the VR produced streams.
It would update you on a lot of info.
The elf race in Pantheon is simply called "Elves". Maybe you can change the skin tone at character creation and create whatever kind of elf you want: high, wood, or dark.
They have a race called Gnomes but they are actually some weird robot or animated suits of armor race. Ya, backstory explains it but....why? Why tell people you have Gnomes as a playable race and then give them something which is not Gnomes at all. If you want Gnomes have Gnomes. If you want a robot race call them something else.
They have Dwarves but they are blue. Again, why? If you're going to have Dwarves have Dwarves. If you want to have a short blue race call them Smurfs or something.
Then there are the Dark Myr. These appear have a darker blue skin color. I actually got excited about them at first because they were supposed to be some type of Merfolk race. Then I read more and discovered that, no, they are not actually merfolk. They used to be merfolk but then blah, blah, blah they are no longer really merfolk. Again, why? Why put in a race of merfolk but then make them not merfolk at all. Why even bother?
They have that weird ugly race. I don't even remember what they call them but they don't appeal to me at all.
They have elves who are ok I guess but they also have a odd blue/grey skin color. The devs seem to have an odd fascination with blueish skin tones.
There is that other race. Again I forget the name but I think it starts with an "A". Archai or something, I don't even care enough to look it up. Blah, blah...whatever it doesn't interest me. But hey, at least they're blue.
I get that they are trying to be different but the choices they have made with the playable races don't seem very good to me.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
But then, none of these companies invented fairies.
Tiny magic person + tiny magic wings = fae/fairy.

Yeah, I was think that was possibility too. HOWEVER, if you go to their playable Races page, each race shows 2 together, 1 male and 1 female. Each one in different armor types indicating different classes. These have similar setup but both female. Likely, they're all female race. Plus, they specifically added a "Future Races" tab at the same time as dropping that Fae-like concept art. That concept art of the Giants is old. Time will tell.
But I get that not being appealing to some.
For example, years ago (too long ago at this point) when I ran a D&D campaign, my dark elves weren't "dark" but albino because I thought it ridiculous that they were underground but physically dark.
I had dark skinned upper world because that made sense.
Now, blue? don't know. Gnomes being party machine? I see the logic but I guess a "why" would be appropriate.
