This week Koei Tecmo has released a bunch of new character artworks and screenshots for some of the characters that got introduced in the "Untold Chronicles From 100 Years Past" trailers. You can find them all on their Twitter.
These characters are presented in the same style as the confirmed playable characters and some of them are even shown holding or using what might be their main weapon. The most notable one is clearly King Rhoam, who looks like a boss with that Royal Claymore. He even holds it with one hand in one of the cutscenes:
Master Kohga also has his huge spiked ball and Hestu gets his Priceless Maracas, though he wouldn't be the same without them. But it still creates the hope that some of these characters will be playable after all. Robbie and Purah on the other hand aren't shown with any real weaponry or items around them, unless you count Robbie's backpack and Purah's glasses...
These new images were first sighted in the Japanese "Nintendo Dream" magazine, where all these characters are listed under "Other Characters" and not "Playable Characters", though they do note that it's simply unclear whether these characters will be playable or not. So, it's all out in the open and I really don't like that Nintendo is making a big secret about this. But judging from the artwork, I'd say that in the least King Rhoam, Master Kohga and Hestu could be playable.
