Each past "end of year" letter ended with teasers about the coming year's big additions to the game. This year's is the first that doesn't: Creative Director's Letter: That's a Wrap on 2018!

All it does say about what's coming in 2019 is details are coming Soon™:

They say its going to be something truly special due to ESO having its 5 year anniversary next year. Then they say they can't wait for us to "put all the pieces together". If meant figuratively, it sounds like they might make a game out of telling us, slowly giving us little tidbits and clues until we figure it out. If meant as a literal clue, it could be a huge hint that Spellcrafting is going to be 2019's big new mechanic, as its comprised of collecting the different spellcrafting components and putting the pieces together, much as Enchanting puts pieces together for crafting glyphs.

This is because Lambert is only the Creative Director, and is not empowered with the security clearance necessary to reveal anything about what is coming. Firor, as Studio Director, has top level security clearance, so he can say that sort of stuff. Everything Lambert says has to go through these two guys.
