It's possible, but primarily it's dependant on how much the Empire has recovered. Let's be perfectly straight here, the Stormcloaks don't have a chance alone, so it'll primarily involve another large faction assisting the players faction, in this case, the empire seems fitting. Currently we have no real clue on the size or status of either sides military. All we know is that the Aldmeri have plenty of men to spare, sending them into territory to covertly kindap Talos-believers. The writers can make it go either way. On one hand they could say that the empire has fully recovered, or the Thalmor have suffered in some way (possibly from the dragon attacks or some other source), and so the time is right for round two of the war. On the other hand, they could just as easily say that the empire is still preparing for said war and fit the war into a sequel game, as either a playable part or as lore (much like the war that started this war). Only the writers know (and that's if they're even considering it now), so we shall see. All I can say is that it'll be a pretty ambitious project to work on as DLC, but it's possible.
