Trivia

According to recent hints on social media about the next DLC, at the end of the trailer some words can be heard. "Get ready" and "Waagh, waagh, waagh" (I personally can't hear it, but the reddit community seems very confident about it). This is likely a hint for the soon to be announced Greenskin rework.
