Starfinder Galactic Ancestries comes out at the beginning of April. It has 21 ancestry options, not sure if that's 21 ancestries or also includes versatile heritage and Starfinder heritages for PF2e ancestries. I suspect this will be the most ancestries we get at one time in SF2e

Starfinder Absalom Station comes out around August. Has one SF1e ancestry and one new ancestry.

Ah I see, I had no clue that those were even a thing. I never saw anything about that on this website, maybe it's just because I'm on mobile. Do you know if it will be including content for/from pre-existing ancestries that are in other books already?

The cover features a goblin (so space goblin heritage would likely come), a bantrid, and an Izalguun.

Additionally, Formians, moonflower leshies, Azrinarans (Void Elves, formerly drow, likely an elf heritage), and a playable ooze people are confirmed,

I think it's safe to assume at least the Pathfinder core races, Elf, Orc, Leshy, Halfling, and Gnome would be included.

Oh, well in that case, I most definitely will be purchasing that book upon it's release. One of the main ancestries I wanted added to 2e was formians, and I had no idea formians were confirmed.

I've liked formians since 1e, I wish they had been given more lore. In most books in 1e formian lore and history seemed entirely nonexistent aside from a few specific events, and I've always wondered what's up with the formians. They used to be always overshadowed by the lashunta.

Hello! I'm mainly making this post to share a little bit of an idea I have with the Starfinder community, and hopefully with Paizo as well if anyone within Paizo happens to see this.
So, as any good sci-fi universe does, Starfinder has a lot of alien species in its universe. Starfinder first edition had more simple rules that allowed for easy creation of playable ancestries that had short and simplistic stat blocks. But translating Starfinder's universe into the Pathfinder Second Edition rule set makes adapting a lot of the playable ancestries from first edition difficult.
Which is somewhat where my idea comes into play. My main idea was to have some sort of Pact Worlds Ancestry Guide of sorts that compiles all the rules for pre-existing ancestries in Starfinder Second Edition that are native to the Pact Worlds but only present in stuff like adventure paths and not major rule expansions (so for example Ikeshti, Shobhads, and Elebrians, but not Contemplatives, Sarcesians, and Astrazoans).
And in addition to having the ones found only in adventure paths, it could also introduce some new and updated ancestries for Starfinder Second Edition that are native to the pact worlds. Some new ones would include things like Formians, Urogs, Ryphorians, Verthani, SROs, and similar Pact Worlds native ancestries.
