According to the official notice, the team will use the extra time to further refine the content of the DLC and do its utmost to deliver the best possible experience. No other changes to the release were mentioned in the announcement.

What it means for you
Two extra weeks is a decent window to tidy up your current save. If you’re still working through the base game, that’s plenty of time to tick off the remaining challenges – we’ve put together an overview of bosses and locations, and there’s a separate guide on how to beat the Titan. And if you still don’t own the game at all, you’ll find it on its Steam store page.
Where to go next
While you wait for the DLC, it’s worth catching up on the recent updates: the most recent one we’ve covered is patch 2.03.02, and every other article on the game is collected in our Crimson Desert guides.
