This announcement flew a bit under the radar for me. Interested to see what it will bring. New types of playable creatures sounds intriguing for sure

"We're going to be focusing development into a few big expansion packs that will come out one by one over the next few years," Freehold explains. "Each expansion pack will be paired with a big update to the base game. The base-game updates will be free, and the expansion packs will be purchasable as DLC. The first one will likely come out sometime next year. We have at least three sketched out, but time will tell what they look like beyond the first."

As for what we can expect, Freehold suggests "things like new types of playable creatures, underground villages, new mechanics, and expanded lore." It says that, with each release, "both the expansion pack and its paired base-game update will have a lot of stuff in them," but notes that it will decide on a case-by-case basis whether features feel like core upgrades or something better suited to the DLC.
