There's a lot of games in the industry--it's impossible to keep track of every single game. But the first one that comes to mind is Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. They added a new story called Future Connected that they didn't charge for. It was included in the remaster. 

Xenoblade is actually a remake, the new character models and Future connected is a way for the game to appear more like a prequel to Xenoblade 2 

A remake is built from the ground up new, updating character models does not change the description of remaster or remake. A good portion of remasters update models, textures, etc. a remake is remaking everything. It’s kinda the whole point of calling it a “remake”.

 As for Future Connected, it doesn’t matter what you consider it’s “purpose” to be, that doesn’t make it invalid when it comes to extra content.
