It will probably come out 2016/2017. I think that the game will take place 100 to 400 years after Skyrim. It'll most likely take place in either Summerset Isles, Valenwood and Elsweyr of Black Marsh, Valenwood and Elsweyr. The empire will probably be partially restored and the Thalmor threat will be almost completely over, as the developers will probably need to set the game far enough in the future so that they can leave the ending of the civil war as unknown. The Fighters and Mages Guilds will be back as well. The Blades will probably be restored as well. I also think that the main quest line will either focus on the Dwemer coming back to Tamriel or some other different major event foretold in an elder scroll. I don't think that shouts will be back, but dragons may still be around (hunting them could possibly be part of a Blades storyline). I also think that Snow Elves, the Psijic Order, the Mora Tong and possibly the Dawngaurd will play roles.
