All I could think of was
"Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games..."
Maybe they'll show us a bit of Venus?

I've been thinking about "The Law of the Jungle", too. That picture is from The Jungle Book (relevant section here with highlights).

And (from Wikipedia), here's the text of The Law of the Jungle (with potentially relevant parts highlighted):

NOW this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky,
And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back;
For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

Wash daily from nose tip to tail tip; drink deeply, but never too deep;
And remember the night is for hunting and forget not the day is for sleep.

The jackal may follow the tiger, but, cub, when thy whiskers are grown,
Remember the wolf is a hunter—go forth and get food of thy own.

Keep peace with the lords of the jungle, the tiger, the panther, the bear;
And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the boar in his lair.

When pack meets with pack in the jungle, and neither will go from the trail,
Lie down till the leaders have spoken; it may be fair words shall prevail.

When ye fight with a wolf of the pack ye must fight him alone and afar,
Lest others take part in the quarrel and the pack is diminished by war.

petetheduck has the rest in his post, but the above is the relevant part for me

Call me crazy, but the potential connection to the Hunter class here is just too good to pass up. Based on this, I think Thursday's trailer will be about the Hunter class.

An alternative interpretation that focuses on the right-of-the-kill parts could revolve around squad mechanics and/or dungeon loot rules.

And although it's probably a stretch, I felt that the last highlighted bit might have multiplayer implications, but I doubt that's the direction this is headed.
