Wow, okay. This is a lot to take in, and we haven't even had comic con yet! This is really exciting! Alright, time for some analysis;

1) Steven is obviously older, or at the very least, he has finally aged physically, with a new look to boot! This certainly confirms the time-skip everyone predicted. My personal guess is that it's been six months to a year, since that would have been enough time for all of this new stuff to occur. I don't think it's been any longer than a year, so Steven is at least fifteen now. Either way, the confirmation of a time-skip is very exciting and I cannot wait to see what they do with it.

2) There are some obvious updates to the temple, with what appears to be a blue dome attached to it, and as new floor entirely. My guess is that Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis reside in the dome now and the new floor is juts a nice addition to Steven's room. There also appears to be a pair of flags outside of the temple, though it's hard to depict what they represent like since they are so far away.

3) There is a new structure where the barn used to be, and it looks like a huge tower accompanied by a few more gem-like structures. My prediction is that this is something the Crystal Gems built for the now uncorrupted gems to reside, and the entire area is more-or-less a little resort for them. I also have a theory that the tower is a communication hub of sorts, where Steven can contact the Diamonds and Homeworld ( the strange appendages on the top look somewhat like satellites ).

4) We now have a better look at the antagonist and she looks quite peculiar. She has an unusual design for her eyes, she appears to be the size of a diamond ( though that could just be for the poster to make her look more intimidating ), and her overall design seems more obscure than most standard gems. She also has the heart-shaped gem from the teaser, which is embedded in her chest and is inverted. Considering this series and its symbolism, my guess is that the inverted heart has more significance than meets-the-eye. As for my opinion on her, she is certainly intimidating, though I still have no clue as to what she can be. A mysterious fifth diamond? A failed clone of pink diamond? A new gem entirely? A disastrous attempt to create a new, era 3 gem? An artificial gem created from another threat? I honestly have no clue, though I'm sure we will get more answers at comic con.
