EverQuest Legends, the upcoming reboot of the long-running EverQuest video game franchise, is set to include the Kerran as playable characters at launch. The update was announced Saturday and puts one of the series' most recognizable fan-favorite races front and center for the new game.

The Kerran, known as a cat-like race within the EverQuest universe, have been part of the franchise's identity for years. Their return in EverQuest Legends is a notable signal that the reboot plans to draw on familiar elements from the 25-year-old property while presenting a fresh entry for players.

Only limited information was shared alongside the reveal, but confirming the Kerran helps answer one early question about the game's launch options. Playable races are a key part of any role-playing game, especially when a reboot is revisiting a well-established fantasy setting with longtime fans.

For returning players, the announcement ties EverQuest Legends closely to the franchise's legacy. For newer audiences, it highlights that the reboot intends to feature distinctive races that have helped define EverQuest over the years.
