Yes, this doesn't qualify as news, because we already know the game's full roster, but for some reason Nintendo has decided to announce that both Kohga and Sooga are playable characters in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity today on Twitter. Officially, this wasn't revealed until now, where last year that had only shared artworks for some of the characters, which included Kohga, and for the DLC they only said that there is one more character without revealing that character's identity. But the Yiga cat is out of the bag now.
Curiously, they make it sound like Master Kohga became playable with the Expansion Pass. This is their wording:
The Yiga Clan strikes! Master Kohga joins the battle – and Sooga too! – in the #HyruleWarriors: Age of Calamity Expansion Pass.
Well, he already joined the battle in the main game, though... But the Expansion Pass does give him a scenario, which shows us what happens after their confrontation with Astor. And this is where Sooga may or may not join you.
But I suppose that Nintendo's marketing wanted to step things up a bit for Age of Calamity. After all, the main game is almost one year old now, so they might as well reveal more of the playable cast at this point. Half of it is still a "secret", technically, where they haven't shown various of the playable characters in the official media to avoid spoilers. Which is good, but it's been a year and most Zelda fans should already know about the full cast...
Anyway, I didn't know about Sooga's ice statue move, but it's hilarious. If you press X immediately after using Cryonis, he carves the ice block into a statue of Master Kohga. And when an enemy destroys this statue, he gets super angry, which leads into an immediate weak point attack. That's such a funny detail in his moveset and very cool.
