Quick Answer
Yes, classes are gender locked at the start of ArcheAge Chronicles Early Access. You cannot freely choose either gender for every class. A female Warrior is planned for a December update, rather than available as a launch option.
Which genders can you choose for each class?
Warrior, Ranger, Mage, and Berserker have gender locks; their individual selectable genders still need to be detailed here.
| Class | Gender selection at the start of Early Access |
|---|---|
| Warrior | Gender locked; selectable gender details will be added. |
| Ranger | Gender locked; selectable gender details will be added. |
| Mage | Gender locked; selectable gender details will be added. |
| Berserker | Gender locked; selectable gender details will be added. |
Compare the ArcheAge Chronicles class roster before choosing your character. Use the character creation guide as you work through character selection.
Can you play a female Warrior at launch?
No, a female Warrior is planned as a future addition, rather than a launch option.
The planned December update would begin expanding gender options with a female Warrior. If you want that option, treat it as a future plan when choosing your starting character. You can explore the class separately in the Warrior class guide.
Will the gender locks be removed?
Removing gender locks is planned as Early Access progresses, but no date covers the full roster.
The female Warrior plan does not give you a removal date for every class's gender lock. Further class-specific gender options and timing will be added as those details become available.
