Nice to see the return to Shogunate Japan. The setting always felt more appropriate for the kind of mechanics than the gunslingers of Desperados.

why does it feels like an old fashion expansion pack??

That's exactly what it is. This is not their next game. The level designers just had a little bit of spare time after finishing D3 and until the technical foundations for their actual next game are complete so they made some more levels for ST to tell a bit more about what happens after the main campaign which they couldn't after the original release because of financial reasons.
This is just a small standalone expansion for ST with the same engine, same characters, etc. with 3 main missions and 3 small interlude missions (whatever that means; probably something similar to the flashback missions in D3 and mostly there to tell the story since they said they want to rely less on cutscenes and explain more in-game in the future).

Aiko's Choice is NOT their next game.
It's "just" a small standalone expansion for Shadow Tactics.
The level designers just had a little bit of spare time after finishing D3 and until the technical foundations for their actual next game are complete so they made some more levels for ST to tell a bit more about what happens after the main campaign which they couldn't after the original release because of financial reasons.
While it will be completely standalone, it will use the exact same engine, characters, mechanics, etc. as the original game and only have 3 main missions and 3 small interlude missions (whatever that means; probably something similar to the flashback missions in D3 and mostly there to tell the story since they said they want to rely less on cutscenes and explain more in-game in the future).
It's obviously still great but you shouldn't overhype it too much.
Mimimi's actual next game is already confirmed to be a completely new and original setting.
