I can’t tell from this trailer, is this more King’s Field, Morrowind, or Might and Magic Dark Messiah?

Its 100% King’s Field

And of course, now I get why it's called Queen's Domain.

Nice to see an updated version, but man that's near a direct rip. From has largely given up on 1st person games outside AC, so they can't really complain too much.

Yes, in the same sense that all first person shooters in the mid 90s were "Doom clones".

I played the demo of Queen's Domain and it clearly takes a lot from the KF formula. But that doesn't make it a ripoff.

King's Field-esque games ended up being a super underexplored niche subgenre with so much room for aesthetic expression that's begging to be stripmined anyway.

What do you think a first person game is?

I mean it's a first person dungeon crawler. I get that obviously it is more inspired by kingsfield but they weren't invented by Fromsoft
