Kodan
For the first time, players can choose a kodan — one of four playable species ArenaNet is bringing to Orr.
The kodan are playable in Guild Wars 3, the first time the species has been playable anywhere in the franchise. They appeared in Guild Wars 2 as a non-playable people of the far north, which makes this the reveal's genuine news rather than a returning option.
As with every species, the dev diary states there is no statistical advantage attached to the choice.
