The survey they have up for the 2024 announcement asks what people want to see as post game content and one option is “adventures in the forgotten realms.”

Are they hinting that they may be getting the license for FR games?

I really doubt that the licence would be exclusive, I suspect that any AAA type game will be set in the Realms and there will be some kind of BG3 successor, but I really cannot see Tactical Adventures Franchise doing a AAA type game, much less a BG3 successor.
So, maybe they can get a licence and I think it would be smart of WoTC to give them one. I would expect to resulting game to be more polished version of Solasta.
I do hope they can afford to hire some better writers though and some more artists, a greater variety of faces in the cut scenes would go a long way. "Stay in the Light".

It looks like switching to the Unreal Engine has at least given the characters seen in the demo better faces than the previous Solasta.

I enjoyed the first game, but the elephant in the room is that they really needed a better narrative designer and people who can write dialogue. For all the improvements they're making, there's no indication that they are doing that. I think it will still be good, but if they don't invest in good writers it'll never be great.

I watched only a couple minutes of their demo, but the dialogue there was markedly better than in the first game. Small sample size and all that, but a positive sign nonetheless.

I played the whole demo, which is what they were showing there. The dialogue throughout is comparable to the first game, albeit elevated a bit by stronger voice acting.

It matters to the setting.

In that it would be better without them. I would rather have the cool original species from the demo than generic WotC stuff shoehorned into the setting.

They don’t need to add subraces back in. Snow Dwarf is a nationality, not a separate species, there is no need for them to be mechanically any different from any other dwarves.

And the game has always had the cosmetic options to make dark elves.

Goliaths would work fine in the setting - better than tieflings, who don't really fit with the lore of Solasta. But I can't see such a small developer considering them worth the resources to add. Maybe come expansion pack 3.

Oh well... there goes that glimmer of hope. Still buying it though!

Solasta has cool Tiefling Lore.

"After much research, it is now known that tieflings are not, as had previously been rumored, from the Western Kingdoms or from another continent. After much effort and at great expense, we finally managed to get a group oftieflings to agree to be interviewed. How much of what they said is true is up for debate. Until we can unearth more evidence, the following is as good as we can get:

The first tieflings were from Tirmar, and they entered Solasta through the Rift.

They were enemies of the Sorr-Akkath even before they entered Solasta. Their legends speak of an infernal curse on the peoples, family, and descendants ofa Priest of Pakri, named Eikon.

Eikon's bargain with a devil-prince had been made in order to save their kingdom and to also be immune to the control of Soraks, but that bargain came at a terrible price, an infernal taint, a curse that produced the tieflings. The bargain failed to save their kingdom, forcing them to flee through the Rift.

In the centuries since the Cataclysm and the closing of the Rift, the tieflings have had to live in hard-to-reach places, hiding in the darkest dens beneath cities, and in wild, out-of-the-way places. Always outsiders, treated with great suspicion by native Solastans and humans alike. Some say that lack of faith is deserved, and that no creature that has an infernal taint can be fully trusted. We shall let the reader decide the truth of that."
