Cool!

So is this a paid for add-on or is it free?

As with all vitually all expansion packs, you have to pay.

Don't state "Opposing Force" as an exception; I had to pay for that when
it originally came out all those years ago.

Lost Coast is a tech demo and will be free, but Aftermath is a
full-blown game that Valve expect you to reimburse them for if you want
to play.

I've read that Aftermath will be released as several monthly "chapters"
that will sell for about $8 each via Steam. No idea how many chapters,
though.

the only release slated to be episodic, so far, is sin.
