I can’t tell if you’re kidding, but just in case: this is for the 2021 remastered version. They’re not making new paid content for a game that came out in 2000.
For Skyrim, functionally, no. You can’t use mods from one version on the other. You can’t use saves from one version on the other. Its a port, but that’s beside the point for what I’m trying to say. Oblivion and the Remaster are not the same game full stop. Nor is Diablo II and its remaster. I still play the original Diablo II. I can’t play this expansion because it wasn’t made for Diablo II. It was made for the Remaster. The two games share the same DNA but they are not cross-compatible. Diablo II did not get updated. The Remaster did.
I think we just have very different ideas of what makes a game a “completely different game”. It seems to you all remasters are completely different games, and I just wholeheartedly disagree.
The article is a bit unclear about it, but the article does say it’s for the remastered version. So their headline is misleading, and OP just used the official article title.
So it’s a bad title. Unfortunately it’s poor form and considered misleading to change an article’s headline. Still, OP should have noted that the headline straight-up lies.

So the headline is a lie. Diablo II isn’t getting its first expansion in 25 years. The Diablo II Remaster is getting its first expansion.
Come on bro
You come on. Those are two different games.
They are but they aren’t, and it seems mostly pedantic to hammer on that.
Are they cross-compatible? If no, then they’re not the same game.
So Skyrim on Switch is not the same game as Skyrim on PC…?
Or even more obviously, Oblivion Remastered on the PC vs. Oblivion on the Xbox 360.
