It's the only logical choice. Since 'Online' is based everywhere in Tamriel (even if they do a crappy job of it), it limits any further creativity for a game on Tamriel.

Akavir (or Dragon land) is Large, Diverse, Dangerous, and best of all, Bethesda doesn't have to make it up. Akavir has been mentioned in the games for awhile. It has its own history and culture. Akavir has even had influence on the history of Tamriel; Blades, Akaviri, even a few invasions. In fact, one of the Major influences of the start of the Ebonheart pact was the invasion of Tamriel by the Kamal (Terrifying snow demon race from Akavir).

Despite all of the references to the continent and its people, not much of Akavir is known. This makes it the Perfect setting for the next Elder Scrolls chapter. It's just the kind of fresh new start that the series needs.

Responding to the issue of a lack of playable races in Akavir, here's an idea:  Shortly after the civil war in Skryim, many people from Tamriel migrate accross the Padomaic Ocean to Akavir for some reason. Perhaps a war with the Thalmor? Anyways, you would be of course, a prisoner being shipped to Akavir for some reason. Realistically, the races from Tamriel would primarily be located in the nations of the Tang Mo (the thousand monkey isles), and Ka Po' Tun (nation of tiger people). This is because those two nations are allied and are the only ones do not have an extensive history of being hostile towards Men and Mer (debateably).

Fill in the gaps for the storyline. Bethesda has a particular talent for filling their games with hours of content and miscelaneous side quests.

Here's another idea for content. In the book 'Mysterious Akavir' it is said that all the men on Akavir (the Akaviri') were eaten by the Tsaesci. Perhaps some of them still remain? If not, some ancient Akaviri ruins would be nice to explore. The whole Dwemer thing is getting old (Don't hate me for that.)

Final answer, Yes. An Elder Scrolls game based on Akavir would be ideal for the franchise.
