The Creative Assembly have confirmed that they will be selling a DLC pack containing the Ikko - Ikki as a playable faction. Other contents will apparently be included as well, such as the Ikko religion spreading to adjacent provinces similarly to Christianity, and a new Ikko - Ikki unit.

Also it looks like there will be a new warrior monk hero unit, alongside the battle nuns.

As long as they add plenty of new units so its not just "here, we unlocked this faction" I'll gladly pay $5ish.

I'm curious to hear more details about this. So far, there hasn't been anything official (correct me if I'm wrong), but there have been hints here and there.

People uncovered files and posted about it on TWC, and one of the CA employees came in to reassure everyone that the Ikko Ikki DLC will contain "a lot more" than just unlocking a faction.

I'm sure they didn't intend to spoil the surprise, but once the babies at TWC got going with their wild hypotheticals (that turn into facts somehow), I guess they figured it was time for damage control.

I think the Ikko Ikki would be a great faction to play. Perhaps Katana Monks, Monk Calvary, etc. I am excited and anticipate pleasantly any further details.

I think a big question on this is value-for-money. Even a minimal faction unlock would be an acceptable DLC if the price was cheap enough, but there's got to be something meaty to it if they're going to ask me to pay $5+ for it. Impossible to know what the result will be until we know both the full details and the price.
