Dimraeth Races — All 3 Playable Races Explained
Dimraeth launched in Early Access with 3 playable races: Human, Minotaur and Elf, the last of which was added for launch. Eight races is the long-term target rather than the current build — here is what you can actually play today.
The 3 Races Playable Now
| Race | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Human | Playable now | Featured on the official site and in the demo. |
| Minotaur | Playable now | Featured on the official site and in the demo; central to the story conflict with humans. |
| Elf | Playable now | Added for the Early Access launch alongside the Shadow class. |
| 5 more races | Roadmap | Eight races total is the full vision; the remaining five arrive during Early Access. |
Race × Class = Archetype
A race is not cosmetic: each race × class pairing has its own skill tree. With 3 races and 3 classes live that is 9 archetypes, and the same class plays differently across races — see classes and builds.
Why Humans and Minotaurs Matter
The campaign’s backstory turns on a conflict between humans and minotaurs. Minotaur prince Antark and human inventor Toleus opposed that war and travelled to Dimraeth together to use the mountain’s magic — the confrontation with the ogre mage Sylbos that follows is what grants your character immortality and starts the game. Playing either race puts you on one side of that history.
More Races Planned
The Early Access roadmap explicitly includes more races and classes across the 18–24 month window (see Early Access plans). New races arriving post-launch will be added here with their archetype breakdowns.
