So, although there wasn't so much in the producer's letter and we haven't been getting many sneak peaks of stuff, etc. (I literally live for those) I felt it would be fun to share my decryption of the narrative.
So, first I decided to slit it into textual blocks which are easier to read

Most likely large genetically messed up creatures are similar to giant orc mob, and these are smaller mob (also most likely controlling bigger). I would guess that these are bosses in the earlier levels, but as they lose control, bosses turn to being the controlled.

My interpretation
The players have found a new, wonderful land. However, the king of this land is threatened to be overthrown by a "rabble-rouser" who soon garners a strong
following, which seperates itself from the general population, when they cannot overthrow the king. They decide to overthrow the king using force, and soon create a
technology which would allow the powers of objects and beings to be transfered. However, this invention has unwanted side effects which soon turn the isolated
community into beasts, and drives them insane. Soon, a group of mercenaries comes, in search of shiny boxes, and end up taking control over the community of
beasts. Thankfully, the king was not blind to what was happening, thanks to his spies. However, he soon falls under attack by both of these peoples. He turns to the
Arlorians to stop (nameless mercenary lord's) conquest.
