Outer wilds trailer
Could this be who we will follow in this expansion, with the expansion taking place in the new universe? This is just a very wild guess, since then you'd have to explain what the reasons behind the Hearthian satellite and the eclipse in the old solar system are, when these new beings live 14.3 billion years after Outer Wilds, in a completely new universe (though possibly mildly influenced by what happenes in the Eye during the main game). Outer Wilds ending spoilers: The mantis people seen in the new universe appear to have almost twig-like hands and live in a very forested place. Could there be three Eyes, and maybe even three different worlds, with this structure communicating or transporting between them? We can also see that the symbols are the same, just with one, two or three of the wave-like circles, symmetrically rotated. What about the structure 47 seconds in? Clearly, this structure must have been built by the same beings that built the hand with the eye in it, considering the three symbols are on top of the same eye shape. What's the weird structure 45 seconds in? And furthermore, what's with the weird winged eye/planet thing engraved on the wall behind it? Maybe this is causing the eclipse? If it is, why would the Hearthians do this, considering this structure was clearly built by the Hearthians? Maybe this is some way to stop the sun from exploding due to its age, turning it into something different in the process? It could explain why pretty much everything seems to be so dark in the trailer. In fact, it appears to have a huge lens or similar looking towards the sun.

The Hearthian ship-like object the trailer starts with is distinct from the actual ships the Hearthians build.

Additionally, how would it move between the camera and the sun while being completely dark when it is glowing in the screenshot? However, the thing causing the eclipse appears to revolve around the sun in the same pattern as the other planets of the solar system, whereas the new object revolves orthogonal to the other planets. It is possible that this is the new astral body seen in one of the screenshots on the Store page. When the shade starts looming over the sun partially, you can see the starts behind where the mysterious object would be, meaning it cannot be a physical object. Whatever is causing the eclipse, it is unlikely to be a planet or something similar. Maybe whatever the eclipse is changes the sun to something that can actually be visited from the inside? Absolutely no idea how that could make sense though. The question is, why does it still show the solar system already present in the game, with what seems to be an eclipse? Has there been a third race present in the same solar system the whole time? The trailer does feature a lot of underground/dark stuff, but those places couldn't exist in the solar system if it is exactly the same one, given we've seen deep into the planets. Not to forget the thornlike claws/fingers, which goes with the thorny eye symbol we have already known about. Or wooden houses and bridges, in a completely different style from what the Hearthians and Nomai built. It's a hand with an eye in the palm, and it is most definitely not built by the Nomai or Hearthians. Take, for example, this moment in the trailer. It very much looks like it will focus on some race we have not seen yet, with all the new structures shown.
