Pretty sure the 16th is going to be the announcement not the release. No way they are going to just drop a full DLC with no prior notice. Its a Thursday so we'll probably get a dev diary on the features. I suspect we'll get 2-3 dev diaries covering the new stuff in the DLC then release the week after.
I think that's how it went with the Heritor expansion so yeah, safe bet for a mid may release.
Apprently, this was on the resource editor after the T-Rex update.
it was posted by @Apoplekt in a thread a while back.
Would you rather they were bald/sphynx cats?
That said I'm more and more afraid it will be a human race - some kind of nobility/hightened egyptian like race of overlords. We kinda have a lot of this stuff in the game already so I hope I'm wrong...
I personally hope it's post-humans rather than outright aliens; the fact that most every faction is a post-human makes Planetfall feel distinct from most space opera strategy games. (No offense to space opera, per se, I've been playing the heck out of Stellaris lately.) That said, you can do a lot of weird and wild things with post-humans, just ask the Ousters.
I actually want a new alien race. I'm fine with Space Tigrans (For some reason I keep imagining them with blue fur), but I would also be up for something super technologically advanced with flashy colors and super futuristic looks (Like Starcraft's Protoss or the Tau, maybe even Draconians) or something brutish and warrior-like with cold/cryo damage in the form of massive shaggy yeti like 4-armed brutes or something.
I really don't want anything robotic or void like, since we already have so much of that in the game. Something that looks and feels new, you know?
Given the teaser text's font, it looks kind of advanced, with a savageness to it, like high-tech Tigran scratches.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love our post-human factions. Assembly and Syndicate are probably my two favorite factions, but the Kir'ko really make me want more aliens too. I want to see something unlike the other factions, something that comes from outside the union at this point in time. Invaders perhaps.

Aliens in PF are not needed. It'd be more interesting to have Kirko as the result of some experiment on Human + Insect DNA and enslaved later rather than another boring insectoid aliens.

Kir'ko aren't the result of a DNA experiment. They were a hive mind species that the Star Union found, lobotomized then turned into slaves.
I think it will be some cats but not Egyptian ones. Shakarn is probably reference from The Jungle Book to Shir khan, the tiger. It's probably be some jungle, animal oriented faction.
It's probably wrong to take conclusions based on AoW 3. For example Amazons are not Elves, and Dvar are Dwarfs. It's similar but it's not same. Planetfall has own unique story.
