One thing that's for sure is that the entire setting and story will be different. Just look at Skyrim, it took place 200 years after Skyrim and what happened? The War, the Thalmor, the Empire crumpling, the Dark brotherhood was almost completely destroyed. All of this happened in between and leveled the playing field.

My prediciton is that the next game will be much, much, much, much larger. The Skyrim world covered 15 square miles, the new GTA could cover 100. Considering that Bethesda could beat that then there is the potential that multiple provinces could be included.

My prediction is that the next game will be centered in Cyrodil (the empire will have dissappeared). But each province will be ruled as an independat kingdom and the player will be required to travel to all of them throughout the game. Arena was the largest game play (in term of area and land) out of the Elder Scrolls Series, mainly because it took place literally everywhere. Just stating, not trying to start anything.
