Probably the most exciting part of the trailer is that it all but confirms multiplayer which was probably the biggest missing element of the first game.

Yeah I went through a small emotional rollercoaster! it felt so alone when he was running out of oxygen, then we were safe now that we had a friend.

but then we're both still way in the deep

I hope they use the Grounded formula for multiplayer and bases, that was super well integrated!

I never played grounded, could you elaborate?

Sure - the story is built around 4 characters - 4 teens, basically miniaturized to an ant's size, must navigate a backyard filled with dangers, craft tools, and find a way to return to normal size.

The multiplayer element is integrated by allowing up to four players to team up and work together in real-time to explore, fight enemies, and complete story objectives, fostering cooperation in survival and discovery.

When you connect to the game you select one of the 4 teens as your avatar - only esthetics and voice impact, no material change - and the game is well balanced so it's feasible whether you're 1, 2, 3 or 4 players joining...

That was the best thing to have missing. The isolation made the game.

edit: rockpapershotgun had more info. There's going to be solitary play mode/story, but also an up to 4 player co-op.

The description and comments on the video 100% confirm multiplayer. Honestly I'd be excited for the game either way, but I have a lot of fun playing crafting/survival games with friends so it's appreciated.
