What's interesting, is that Paradox usually have a big free update to accompany such expansions for their in-house developed games. Information on this wasn't provided but they have said they will continue developer diaries until the DLC release, so it's entirely possible they're just not yet finished with the update to give a clear word on what it will have. Once they do give solid info on the update as well, I will let you know.
Hearts of Iron IV is actually on sale right now, if you wish to grab a copy you can find it on Humble Store and Steam.
Oh, and in case you think they're going to do Hearts of Iron V, they made it clear on Twitter there's plenty more to come for Hearts of Iron IV yet.
