Carbine set to announce final two races during developer panel.

For several months, fans have been desperate to resolve one of WildStar’s mysteries - the final two playable races. Two personality videos – Meet the Exiles and Meet the Dominion – only served to ramp up the intrigue. As Malvolio Portius said at the time, “Not going to talk about that one…”

Well, it looks as though that wait is nearly over, with Carbine today announcing its plans for San Diego Comic Con. 

Kicking things off is a panel discussion, focused on storytelling and character development. We’re told that topics will include the creative process behind some of the pivotal NPCs, along with how the team put story arcs together. It definitely sounds interesting, particularly when the lineup includes Lead Narrative Designer Chad Moore, Content Director Mike Donatelli, Creative Director Matt Mocarski, and Design Producer Stephen Frost.

If that’s not enough, Carbine is also laying on a WildStar fan event nearby. There’ll be chances to get hands-on with the game and try out the new races, put your questions to the devs and catch up on the latest game news.

Both events are happening on Friday, July 19, with the panel kicking off at 11:30am at the San Diego Convention Center in room 24ABC. The fan event, meanwhile, kicks off at 7pm and runs into the night. You’ll find it at the Hotel Palomar, SummerSalt Rooftop Pool Deck and Lounge.
