This is identical to one of the existing trailers but now with English subtitles instead of Chinese. 

For more expansion of the story and lore, the Arknights Wiki has a good summary of the setting, factions and central conflict:

The world of Arknights is constantly plagued by natural catastrophes called Disasters. Its cause and origins are unknown, but it has caused most civilizations to adopt a mobile, nomadic lifestyle. In the wake of Disasters, a substance called originium is left behind. While it is infectious (causing a disease known as oripathy), originium can also be utilized for energy, to perform magic, and other things. As such, originium industry thrives, leading to the birth of mobile cities, which makes up the majority of the world.

The dominant race is also made of populations of semi-animalistic humanoids called Ancients. Ancients are more susceptible to oripathy than normal humans are, making them generally fearful of those infected with oripathy. 

Arknights is a Tower Defense game in which characters are placed on the map and set to guard a specific route through which enemies are channeled. 

Villain

Talulah, one of the main antagonists, leads the Reunion movement.

The game is being published by Yostar games, who have an overall good reputation among mobile gaming.
