Don't forget, we're 3 months from release. I just find there's little to no merit in hiding all the new stuff or keeping it as a "surprise". I personally would get much more hype with new characters than returning ones (provided they're not trash). I know. And maybe that isn't what they are doing, maybe they just decided to start revealing returning characters for some unknown reason. Who knows?

It's possible that they might be hiding some of the new characters because they don't know how people would react to it. Like I said before, tons of people seems to be wanting to see the returning characters before the new ones. Since people want that, maybe they just got scared that they were making the wrong moves (talking and showing mainly the new stuff only, like they did at E3 2014 when they first showed the game off), so they decided to stop that.

Anyway, I'm sure we are still going to get a good bit of new characters. Even if there is 2 more returning characters than new characters, they probably just added those for story stuff and fan service. It seems that we are mainly going to get a 50/50 roster of new and returning characters.
