I'm not going to lie, I'm not comfortable with this. I always saw DLC as supposed to be the extra stuff they didn't have time to include in the original game, and even if they've gotten all of the characters that they can into the game, this time should be spent making sure that everything else is working just right so that the initial release products are as good as they can be, not worrying about add on content. Sure, we're close enough now that it could be explained, but at the same time for all four of these to have been both decided on and designed, I feel like they've been working on these long before the cutoff, and that just doesn't sit right with me Developers are contractually bound to finish the game before working on DLC.

The game has gone gold since 2 days ago, according to Ed Boon, so development on DLC should begin any moment now. Just because there's a model for all of them doesn't mean they're even close to being done. I never said they were done, or even close to being so. However, the fact that not only are there models for them but the fact that the four characters have been decided at all goes to show that they've been working on DLC for a helluva lot longer than two simple days. Hell, we had the Jason Voorhees trailer as much as six days ago so if the game only went gold two days ago, these characters were definitely started long before

Did you not read what I said? They are CONTRACTUALLY obligated not to work on it until the game itself is completed.

Just because the characters have been decided and modeled means jack-shit, devs and publishers make a plan for DLC way early into development. If you think otherwise you're only lying to yourself.
