So Bethesda dropped this last night

My prediction is it's Hammerfell

First of all it opens with a dusty rocky landscape
It pans over what looks like a semi-arid region. I know Hammerfell is supposed to be a desert, but Skyrim is supposed to be a tundra, but the game had many different regions and biomes and not all were tundra-like, and an arid region would fit nicely into Hammerfell anyway.
On the coast on the right you can see a city off in the distance. You can see a tall tower towards the center of it, so that's probably Sentinel, and that seems to line up nicely with what we know about Sentinel

So that would mean the castle we see center-left could be Skaven, but idk just a guess.
Admittedly, I do have a problem with this theory. I don't know what those snow-capped mountains in the distance are. That looks like it could be the border with Skyrim, but if we're looking at this scene the way I think we're looking at it, the border with Skyrim would be behind us. So idk.

So if it is Hammerfell, the player character could be the HoonDing, or the "make way" god of the Redguards. The HoonDing appears in times of crisis to lead the Redguards. Think of the Nerevarine from Morrowind.

So if it is Hammerfell, and we're the HoonDing, then the combat gimmick, like how Thu'um was for Skyrim, will probably be sword-singing. Sword-singing is the art of fighting with magic-imbued swords, or even manifesting "spirit swords" called Shehai.

I could be way off base, but being a long time TES player, and I always play Redguard, this would be really cool to me.

I have seen some people say it's Akavir, but idk, that would be cool, but I doubt we're going to Akavir.
