The job post listing for the lead Quest Designer states,
ZeniMax Online Studios is seeking a Lead Quest Designer to join our studio for the development of our next AAA game. This is a chance to join an experienced group of developers in pre-production for a new IP. This role will collaborate with the Lead Content Designer, Lead Narrative Designer, Design Leads, & Lead Environment Artists to drive quest content. A developer in this role serves as a key part of the content direction for a new IP and will help drive a holistic approach to quest development that includes gameplay moments, combat encounter design, and scripting.
The article has this at the end
With Zenimax’s background developing the Elder Scrolls Online, it might seem likely that this title is a new MMORPG. However, it is also possible that the studio will take a different step and make a single-player title.
This is false because ZOS already clarified before that their next game is also a MMORPG.

It wasn't always pretty and it definitely wasn't easy, but through it all, his belief in us and the promise of what we could deliver made us who we are today, and that extends to our future titles already in development. Everyone at ZOS is looking forward to being part of the Xbox family.
