My understanding from the beginning was that they where doing a KS in order to make a CRPG and use there profits to make expansions and other games and hopefully break out of the publisher/developer model that most companies are currently slaving under. This expansion announcement shouldn't be a surprise to anyone given there originally stated intent for the KS and the direction that they where aiming for from the start. All this should be is a reaffirmation of what they all ready stated.
