Strangely, the video can't be seen from Italy. Isn't it just a trailer?
I do like how it is potentially expanding the "power fantasy" of He-Man to other characters.It kind of looks like a videogame. I am not the target audience, but it looks fun. And I like how He-man is now just part of a team of youngsters who seem on equal footing. I could see this appealing to kids, plus the action looks really good too.
That was part of the new She-Ra as well. "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power" - each princess had pretty cool powers, but they needed to be work together. But She-Ra was different - not a princess and with a very different source and set of abilities.I do like how it is potentially expanding the "power fantasy" of He-Man to other characters.

And CGI is not a cost-effective choice to animate a show.That makes sense though. Kids grow up on videogames now, so that style would be appealing to them.
More like that one was written with adult fans who kept up with the expanded universe and for whom this concept never really went away. The adults who grew up with the series seemed to be expecting something more like a third season of the Filmation series, except with more action and less censorship but otherwise unchanged.One series is written for adults who grew up with the original Filmation series and meant to be a spiritual sequel of sorts. This one is a new, updated take on the franchise aimed at selling toys to young kids.

I'm still amazed Bart and Lisa Simpson are still in school.Yeah, I thought one of the more interesting ways to deal with the gap in time between the period these things came out that people are nostalgic for, and the present moment, was done by Cobra Kai, with the original actors now middle-aged and dealing with all those issues and a new bunch of kids doing the karate thing. But that of course involves actual people who get older; He-Man never has to get any older than you write him. (I never quite understood how comic books deal with Batman being around since the 30s...)
