Is the expansion pass for the next 2 expansions or any 2 expansions? Is it essentially a 50USD HOI4 gift card or am I forced to use it on the next 2 expansions? If it's like a gift card, it has more value and gives the customer more choice.

I'm not trying to start a debate about the expansion passes. I've already bought it and there are already tons of threads about that. I just want to know how it works. Thanks!

Additional question on this: "Expansion" only means the big 15+€ expansions like e.g. "Semper Fi" or "For The Motherland" and not some small sprite/music packs, correct?

You will get the first ones released. It's an interesting idea to let you chose which ones you want to get. Would solve a lot of concerns. The technical solution to do this is not something we can sort out at this point. But it's a good idea nonetheless.
You "pre-order" the next two expansions.

As for @realQuiGon: Both. You get the (next two) 'big' expansion (Mare nostrum, Way of life and so on, as example.) All these expansion are now split in the game changing stuff and the content (3d-modell). So you also get the 'related' contend (if only modells or also some music, I can't say as nobody outside Paradox knows anything about the DLC plans)

Expansions are about gameplay, DLCs are about cosmetics or extra content.

But as it was written expansions and related content, you probably will get the package (Expansion +DLC) X 2.

Thanks for the replies. Is it "next" 2, or just 2? I'm really curious because most expansions these days do not require previous expansions so you can pick and choose features that you want. If say the first expansion is mid-60's cold war for example, I may not want it because that era doesn't interest me. Could I choose to use my pass for something else?

Edit: PDS should really add some small print to this item. It's kind of difficult to tell exactly what we are getting.

What use is it to add something if you can't understand what was clearly stated:

  • Expansion Pass #1:
    Includes the first 2 expansion and it’s related content, to an estimated value of $49.99

    • "and an expansion pass that will include the first two Expansion DLC packs for Hearts of Iron IV, whenever they are released."
So it is the first two :)
