We're three weeks away from the game and a character who could have easily been announced after the game's launch—since she's (presumably) a post-release DLC character—will be announced this week. Like I said before, I'm doubling down on
my theory and I do think we'll be seeing a final character.
Not 100% sure about her being DLC, actually. No source has mentioned her being DLC yet, even though one would think she will be. Never mind, she is.
So yeah, why announce a post-release DLC character so early? Gives me the same vibes as [Redacted]'s early announcement.
