There are MANY canonical races in 5E, but the races in the PHB are generally classified as 'common races'. Aasimar are an exotic race, of which there are many. We should expect to see the Dragonborn, gnome, and half-orc added to the playable races in BG3. I doubt we will ever see an aasimar, goliath, genku, aarakocra, firbolg, (insert about 15 others here) unless they are community modded in!





The "common races" are planned for launch. I'd say there's a fair chance they get officially patched in eventually through either expansions or a BG4. Would love to play a Goliath. It's hard to say though, Larian hasn't done any expansions - just definitive editions. Either way it's a long way off as this game will be in EA for at least a year.
