All right, chart time! Been a while since we busted this out.
We've had some updates since the last time we looked at this, so let's tally up what we know about this roster.
Remember, we know there'll be 25 slots for playable incarnations.
So far, we've got 11 revealed characters
>Zebei, Tungar, Razmi, Dhar, Ginseng&Honey, Qadira, Baozhai, Phoebe, Vasco, Ren, Yan
plus 4 more confirmed characters
>Naga Rider, Lanshi, Sangmu, Backer Character
and 2 very very safe bets
>Thorani, Kampan
That leaves us with 8 slots, for these characters
>Kushi, Tenoch, Antoine, Zahra, Hassam, Leilani, Toko, George, Narssus, Kogi, Kaldi, Tatanka, Nuna
Which means, even if no more brand new characters are added, we won't be seeing at least 5 characters from the IGG list as playable under the 25 character limit.
That's a lot, and probably explains how redesigns like Vasco happened.
Old Vasco was probably on the chopping block unless they revamped his gameplay/archetype into something they felt the core roster needed (i.e. the top half of the chart).
However, giving Vasco the rapier, melanin, and dapper attitude now, might mean they've firmly kicked Antoine off of the playable list.
So who else might be set for cutting or fusion-ing? Could Narssus get throwing knives? Will George use a flamethrower? Will Nuna become a chef?
