It is set in the past, like one thousand years before Skyrim, or before any other Elder Scrolls games. It is so far in the past, that Talos hadn't been an Emperor yet, but he supposed to be getting to it. And indeed, it is not TES6, it isn't even made by Besedtha. Although Zenimax is supposedly a branch company, they are in different locations. Someone said that even though Zenimax is just phone call away, they doubt that their directors will let their developers disturb their golden boys in Besedtha who are busy making games of year. I belive that was Shody Cast, in his skeptical review of ESO, he said not to expect Besedtha to play a huge role in development of ESO. Weather it going to make a bad game or not, no one knows. So far so good though. Also, I am not sure when they made that review, possibly things had changed since then.
