I found this image on Relic’s website section “work with us”.
It seems to show a samurai and some japanese structures like a dojo.
Try to zoom on it.
These obviously are only speculations.
Before we rule in samurais and dojos, we should first rule out that the game is just comprised of a series of random blobs.
Wow, what an imagination…
NCIS - ENHANCE!!
Unfortunately I they are too blurry for me. This is a nice find though, the same happened with AOE:Online when someone made out the blurred drawings from an image posted on Robot’s website with a swordsman and something else, they turned out to be from the game.
I upped the contrast, that sometimes helps a little. I still can’t make heads or tails of it (the samurai looks like a yeti with blades for hands to me, I see a sea snake in the bottom left, and above that a one legged dead giant and a trumpeting angelphant) but whatever the blobs are many do seem to have a certain organic quality to them, so the few things these don’t look like are big square stuff like modern buildings, tanks and large robots. So it might well be art for aoe4. (Or any other game with say humans and plants in it.) I just couldn’t tell for the life of me what is actually depicted there.
The one thing I can make out on the screen looks like a rug (or a playing card, or wooden window shutters, or…) so that could be some kind of historic inspiration as well.

I see samurai armour. Something like this:
The Asians have that Lamellar armor. Don’t necessary a samurai
Can be Chinese, mongol, etc.

Yes. You are right
Top left blob looks kind of like a Japanese WW2 Zero fighter plane
Well I hope it doesn’t turn into a Command & Conquer clone.

Yes, but to be honest, i don’t expect to much .
top left looks like a chariot from above
Grasping at straws now I see. 
I think its more of flame thrower and an armored vehicle///???
Here, another Image taken from “game with us section”
It seems to show some different structures , maybe medieval maybe modern. Let’s go my CSI Friends

It says there the picture is from November 18 2015.
I don’t see the other 2 pictures, but I’m reasonably sure none of it is AOE4 now.
