At the grand finals of the Skullgirls tourney at Frosty Faustings, Autumn unveiled a gameplay trailer for the upcoming character Annie.
While they still haven't committed to a solid release date, their Q&A on the official forum clarifies that it's because they intend to push a beta version to the Skullgirls Endless Beta client. Like previous character releases, they will make her available to Steam users through the beta client, and fine tune the character based on data collected and community feedback before releasing her for purchase.
The other, arguably more exciting detail is confirmation more fighters are on the way. After the fiasco with Mike Z and the subsequent implosion of Lab Zero, many assumed there would be no more new fighters after work on Annie concluded. It is unknown who is handling the development of the new fighters, but I'd bet it's being contracted out to Future Club, the studio founded by the major players at Lab Zero who aren't named Mike Z.
