Is Forbidden West getting a DLC at some point?

With the new update, there are actually hardly any aspects in Horizon Forbidden West that need to be fixed or added. The only thing missing now is a real DLC with new missions and a fresh area. Many believe that an expansion will appear, not just because it is at Horizon Zero Dawn was the case, but also because of some hidden areas that look suspiciously like DLC.

Are you venturing into the Forbidden West again with the new NG+ mode?
