I keep being puzzled.
First, those vampires ... well, don't look like the average TES vampire. I may be wrong, but so far, vampires had nothing to do with bats in TES.
So maybe they are some kind of "werebats" or "wereimps" servicing Namira. Moreover, in Oblivion, Namira gave the player a spell called "Namira's shroud" used to extinguish the light brought by priests of Arkay to a dark Ayleid ruin... And it seems that the "werebats" want to extinguish light at a much, much larger scale. Yet to substantiate this, Namira is sometimes portrayed http://images.uesp.net/a/a9/OB-Img-ShrineofNamira.JPG.
Another hypothesis I heard is that the strange deathly realm shown in the trailer could be the Soul Cairn, which is some independant territory of Oblivion, outside the jurisdiction of the various Princes, and ruled by some unknown "race", the members of which call themselves "the Ideal Masters". Could those, err vampires, be in fact the Ideal Masters?
Also, could these beasts be... Morpho?d Daedra?
Now more than ever, I hope that we'll finally be able to interact with bats, and that we'll see the axe called "http://uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Wings_of_the_Queen_of_Bats".
