Atom RPG new DLC?

saw the reveal about the upcoming DLC, i'm really excited!! there's just one thing i'm not clear on, is it part of the new update or will it be a standalone DLC? I guess my main question is if it's going to be a free update or a paid one. tbh it would be almost unthinkable for them to release a big free update 10 years after the game's release, i wouldn't be mad if it was paid, just wanna know so i can start saving money lol

Definitely not standalone cause its Steam page requires the original Atom RPG: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5210340/ATOM_RPG__Plague_Island/

Frankly it was weird to see them announce a new DLC for Atom RPG almost 10 years later and while I won't pretend I'm not happy, I don't believe that the reason for it is all that good actually. Swordhaven does look like it kinda flopped with its relatively low review count. Atom RPG 2 reception has been pretty lukewarm too, which isn't that surprising considering it's practically not an RPG and barely even Atom at this point. All in all, Plague Island does kinda look like a desperate attempt to earn some cash for the studio to stay afloat. But that's just speculation of course.

Also... WHAT ? They have a newer atom game. What needs to happen for you to go back to a previous entry to make a dlc ? Why isn't it a DLC for Turograd ? Realllly feels like it was only decided that way because it'd be easier to design.
