For those who don't want to be privy to this information just yet, spoilers ahead.
Not sure when they're supposed to actually go live, I'd imagine around the start of the next faction war season.
It would appear that we aren't getting new knights, samurai or vikings but rather a new group of mercenary fighters as a 4th row on the selection screen. This formula could change but that's what the information is suggesting so far.
Up first is a masked fighter seemingly dubbed 'Ninja' wielding a rope/axe type weapon.
Looks like we're also getting a metal-masked Roman centurion.

I kind of hope this isn't real. A "mercenary" faction seems kind of lazy, particularly as you can select characters from rival factions anyway.
