Why? Unless I've misread the ads for it, it's clearly in the same vein as Fane of the Drow.

Judging from Fane of the Drow, it'll have four maps, two-double sided maps, some encounters, and a one page summary of rules for the D&D miniatures game.
The preview is actually from the DDM side of the site, so is aimed at DDM players and not D&D players.
More information from people who now have the adventure:
Dagaronzie posted that there is a Derro (46/60) in War Drums. It is mentioned in Hellspike Prison.
Feathers posted the following information on maxminis:
The 3 skirmish legal maps are:
* Magma Keep
* Hellspike (Epic)
*Mushroom Cavern
The non-skirmish legal map is
* Temple of the Prismatic Flame.
The lava squares in both Hellspike and Magma Keep are treated simply as pits.
The Mushroom Cavern has difficult terrain and spike stone squares.
A new terrain feature is smoke, which is prevalent in the middle of the Hellspike map. The book says: "Squares containing smoke block line of sight, but do not impede movement or block line of effect. A creature in a smoke square is invisible to all nonadjacent creatures. Likewise, a creature in smoke can see adjacent creatures, but all nonadjacent creatures are invisible to it."
The Shallow Lava scenario gives the following alternative rules for Lava:
"Squares containing lava do not follow the normal rules for pits. Instead, each square that is filled with lava counts as difficult terrain. In addition, whenever a creature whose movement is slowed by difficult terrain moves into a new square containg lava, it takes 10 fire damage. A creature that is not routing cannot move into a sqaure containing lava if that terrain would deal enough damage to destroy it."
