No, SNK didn't say anything about DLC characters. Also:

1. Ash Crimson doesn't exist anymore, as KoF XIV is not a dream match.

2. I doubt Elisabeth, Mary, or Mr. Big would even be in this game.

3. Nameless is an exclusive character from KoF 2002 UM, so I doubt he'd appear in future games like this one.

4. Rock is not prepared, Goddess Athena had her chance, and there is no Kain in the KoF universe.
