The interesting thing about the games is that, due to the necessarily finite number of playable aliens, the line-up thereof is really part of the package. In other words, the game makers are selling us the playable aliens along with the rest of the game. Which ultimately points to picking aliens which best fit with elements of the game, as well as aliens that they perceive to be popular. On the other hand, it tends to be good for one game to be distinct from the others, meaning that it is likely that new and different aliens will be in this one. It seems, therefore, that the line-up will consist of some aliens important to the Incursean arc, some old favorites, and some aliens that have not yet been in a game.

One wonders how many playable aliens will be present. Though the games have usually only allowed ten at any given time, Omniverse 1 had thirteen, not counting the age differences between the two Bens. The number of alien transformations has seen a generally upward trajectory, so we may potentially be able to expect thirteen or more.
