I don't think we can make an assumption based on architecture and armor styles found in previous DLCs and zones. Its very likely that they'd create new assets entierly for these areas, it has to look new and interesting, after all.

You are right, but these future styles may be based on imperial style, for example. A "nibenay style" or "skingrad style" should look like a variant of the imperial one, I think. But yes, the styles does not count as much as the architecture and landscaping base.

What about mainland summerset alinor??

I think that would be a good idea, but considering that even in beta map, Summerset Isle proper does not appear zoned; I have not listed it.

We have the original kingdom capitals of the Daggerfall Covenant (Wayrest) and the Ebonheart Pact (Windhelm), but we have no idea how Alinor city and how the Summersetian royal court are.

Vvardenfell and Summerset Isle (proper) are similar in size and content, but the later has not appear in games since Arena. The work to bring it to ESO would be tremendous.

That's why I have not mentioned the homeland of the Altmer, but all of Tamriel (and part of Oblivion) is candidate to be the next zone after Vvardenfell.

ArchMikem · April 2017

They're saying ZOS plans to fill in the entire, or almost the entire world map eventually. It gives them a LONG game life what with all the DLC zones they could pump out.

But so far? Vvardenfell is coming in June. Murkmire's been announced but not given a date. Alinor probably a sure bet, and I'm REALLY hoping they'll bring us the two Kingdoms of Elsweyr.

Clockwork City gonna be the dungeon of Vvardenfell expansion, no? Sotha Sil

And Mephala's Realm is an option, yes, but not comparable to Coldharbour. She is not going to conquer Tamriel. That's not her style. Maybe it could be a dungeon or a trial...
