I dont know about anytime soon, never know what zos is working on.

However, I dont think we want whiterun as much as we think we do. It was great in tes5 when we had a whole game to explore with it. In a standalone chapter or dlc i think it would really struggle. There is not a lot around whiterun do. Its fairly isolated. You have a fort and open fields to the west, riverwood to the south. Throat of the world or at least its path is already in another zone so they would have a difficult time including it with whiterun. There isnt alot more.

With greymoor we had solitude, morthal, blackreach, dragons bridge, labyrinthian. All close together.

I even though it would be really nice to see it, i think players would ultimately feel disappointed.

Given this yearlong storyline focus, I don't think we will see Skyrim again for a while. So what this means is next year will be Cyrodiil focus.
So we won't be seeing any chance of White run next year by the looks of it.

I find it funny there is no Whiterun due to it having Fort Graymoor.

They can sell us another tiny chunk of Skyrim at a later date.

I hear a lot about how the Markarth DLC will conclude the Greymore chapter. Does that mean other locations in Skyrim like Whiterun and the Throat of the World wont be available anytime soon?

As zeni have said. Each province gets its own chapter before they go back to fill in the rest of the areas that got expansions. Only 3 remain cyrodil, hammerfell, and black marsh. Next year is definitely cyrodil, the year after will likely be hammerfell, and the year after 2023 blackmarsh. We don't know for sure if hammerfell is next after cyrodil or if its black marsh.

Next year apear to be Skingrad and the area between gold coast and Cyrodil, Skingrad was in TES 4.

Its basically 3 areas left, north as in Skyrim, Vest as in from Cyrodil to south of Alk'ir and East of Cyrodil and Elsweyr

And yes good guess is 22 is either far east as in black marsh or just east of Cyrodil or Elsweyr an area who also was in part in Tes 4.

No Whiterun, no Dawnstar, no Winterhold. How many times can ZOS sell us Skyrim?

About two more times. Two holds would be a chapter, one hold would be a DLC. Unless they take the Blackreach route again. There is also Solstheim and Falkreath hold still. Even if we've seen Falkreath in a DLC dungeon, there is still other stuff in the area, like Helgen.

Thematically Falkreath would fit into the Q4 of next years DLC, which looks like it's going to Skingrad in Cyrodiil. Historically both Skingrad and Falkreath were considered to be part of "the colovian estates", so it could be connected to it in some way. Although I think it's more likely the Q4 DLC will be somewhere in Hammerfell and Falkreath will be connected to Whiterun in a chapter release, with Whiterun being the main city of the zone.
