i just watched it, he beings to show the new features and talks while he explores the new things. He mostly shows the things that you don't notice right away, and he is right, like the edge of LOS (line of sight) being smoother as well as the ground textures of the terrain.
They also added a 500 population cap. i think this is a bit too much

Basically the Multiplayer feature and the high resolution. Everything else is intact. Also, they announced that there will be an exhibition series with Daut and Viper which are considered to be the best players in the game. This will be a great opportunity to see if they did something about the hotkeys or if they improved the game's user-friendliness (especially the rudimentary hotkeys, multiple building unit training, attack move etc).

Steam workshop will provide a steady flow of custom maps, mods etc. They say they might add some features later on depending on the reception, however I wouldn't count too much on it.

I'm not sure if nostalgia will be able to put up with the change from modern ui to the stone age, hopefully casuals won't notice.

ehm i'm pretty sure we can expect new content (as in features ofc) every now and then,
i'm not sure when or where, but i'm fairly certain they said it.
Steamwork Shop maps are not content by the developers, it's from us.

Ryz0n did not say it directly, but seems like. He said so somewhere in steam forums a while ago.

I just hope they decide to make an AoE4 ;) a real one not a spin off like AoEO.

yes thanks P gracias, that's where i read it i think. that was right after the announcement.
if the communtiy demands it, they can add multiple building selection and such in some weeks/months easily.
I hope they fix the patrol comman
