I just read it--nothing too expository, storywise. Cliff reiterated that main characters WILL die at some point in the game, but didn't say who or why. The biggest 'twist' is that one character gets attacked by the end-boss in the last cutscene they saw, but they don't know if he lives or dies so it's not much of a spoiler.
BTW, Cliff is also describing the game, storywise, as their 'Empire Strikes Back', which falls in line with the darker storyline they're clearly going for. I can't wait!
