DLC finally has a release date and received a new trailer alongside the announcement. In true FromSoftware fashion, there are a lot of hidden details and new enemies in the trailer. But that also means there's plenty of room for speculation while waiting for the DLC to fully release.
The trailer begins with a look at an unknown character's feet, then shows Miquella's cocoon with his arm sticking out of its crack. Then, the new area is shown, which the Tarnished can reach once they touch Miquella's arm. And from that point, hidden details and mysteries begin piling up with everything shown in this trailer.
It's necessary to start with the location of the DLC itself: the Land of Shadow. So far, details about this location and visuals from the trailer show a place that's quite literally in the shadow of the Erdtree, shown by the drooping shrouds of shadow in the sky, particularly around the new tree at the center of this DLC. Since Miquella is in this realm, the shadow of the Erdtree could refer to the Haligtree, which he attempted to create to replace the Erdtree and its Golden Order.
Unlike the Erdtree, the tree in the Land of Shadow is twisted, gnarled, and the only light it gives off is an eerie red glow at a few spots.

However, it could also be an inversion of the Erdtree, which is a glowing symbol of the Lands Between, that's instead twisted and dull in the Land of Shadow.
Miquella's Haligtree is a Legacy Dungeon in the base game of
The first line in the trailer says, And that line seems to be fitting for both Messmer and Miquella, leaving it ambiguous as to whom it's referring to. Miquella has the ability to make others love him, and Messmer is known to be cleaning the hearts of men through a brutal and deadly purification process. As such, this hidden detail implies that the abilities of Messmer and Miquella are more closely related than previously suspected.
When the trailer cuts to the first views of the Land of Shadow, there's a field full of gravestones, which likely ties into the narrator's previous line. To shrive means to punish a sinner to absolve their sins. If that refers to the new villain, Messmer, then it's likely that his absolution comes in the form of death, and though gravestones could indicate just how many people he's killed.
The trailer includes a shot of the back of a character, who could be the Tarnished, looking at what seems to be a Great Rune. Its shape and color line up with other Great Runes, and it would fit on the Elden Ring if it were overlaid on top of it. This could imply that there are more
