This is my cropped, color corrected, and upscaled version of the teaser played in the French livestream at the special announcement on Friday February 28, 2020 at the Lyon eSport event.

One new interview by Eirik Holdal with Hylis:

Just watched it! Some great points were made. I decided to write a few points down while watching it for those who don't have time to watch a 30 minute interview.

• "Welcome to the club" is the spirit; "Welcoming your friends into the game"
• Racing is universal (everyone loves it), so the new TM has to dig into what's important about racing
• They have asked casual players about what could be better in TM because they're mostly unbiased
• 10 first tracks in the game are about training
• New checkpoint behavior allows for better learning/progression
• Ghost also respawns from checkpoint (was visible in announcement stream too)
• Nadeo started working on this 4 years ago, it was called "Trackmania Seasons"
• The game now is called just "Trackmania" (so not TM Next, not TM Nations, not TM 2020, etc.)
• Regarding other environments, there are plans for "everything else", but they're not ready to share (they have their "own place in the plan")
• Trackmania should be as pure and simple as possible, that's why it's only Stadium for now, not to have it be too complicated
• People have said a lot that Stadium is simpler and less intimidating (from the outside) to understand for newcomers than Canyon
• They don't want to change the core of the game (main physics etc), but are adding new blocks etc
• Live test system = map review system, you go online, you put your maps, and when it's your turn people play your maps
• Nadeo doesn't want to "leave any people behind" (speaking about groups; casuals/pros/creatives)
• New focus: new features in spectating
• TMGL is "a tool" that will help TM get better
• Lots of work to do on replays
• Sponsors inside of the stadium (likely the screens around the stadium to be dynamic)
• New maybe feature: instant replay mid-game for streamers if something cool happens
• There are ideas to improve the automatic spectating camera in general

Additional notes:

• There will be a simple mode to test maps online, which sounds a lot like the channels from Trackmania Turbo, except that it will be automated with queues.
• From all maps that will be uploaded for testing, one map will be selected as "map of the day".

Thanks a lot for the youtube link @xrayyay and the following helpful summary @miss, and obviously your addition @TMarc

I am looking forward for TM. Nadeo seems to have improved a lot.

I hope they will consider multiplayer map builder
