Looking forward to watching this later (this post is mainly so I can find the thread again, sorry).

All Psi subclasses are coming forward into core 2024
Illustrations of spells will include those who created named spells.
Art for species will share them in groups in their typical pre-adventuring scenes
Internal playtest continued after the UA
They are in pre-print which is near final

Race is now called "Species" (wasn't it Ancestries or something in UA?). Interesting change. I know a lot of people advocated for that. (Also they're including more of them in the PHB this time.)

EDIT: I was wrong about Ancestries.

It was made species in Monsters of the Multiverse.

Ancestries are Pathfinder

There new species to the PHB as well, so not just Goliaths. Or could they be referring to the Orc as well, because it doesn't feel like it should count given its how they will include Half Orc indirectly?

Could they have changed their mind on Ardlings? Or decided to add other Planetouched like Aasimar and Genasi? Or maybe to tie into BG3 Gith?

And if Soulknife was added, what Rogue subclass did they remove or did they just up the subclass count and if do by how much?

Interestingly, under race in the 2014 phb, they clarify race refers to species.

I hope they don't cut Swashbuckler. It's iconic, and the playtest one was awesome

-They mention Melf been depicted, casting Melf's Acid Arrow, but no mention of there being a depiction Evard casting Evard's Black Tentacles which would be something I'd be interested in seeing.
-Psi Warrior and Soulknife (did it replace the Swashbuckler from the UA?) being in the PHB, along with Aberrant Sorcerer and Great Old One Warlock, are a good acknowledgement of psionics without there being a dedicated psionic class.
