It's been known for a while now that ZeniMax (the parent company of
Bethesda) has been busy creating an MMORPG in-house.  As the Tom's Guide
article indicates, they've been hiring people to work on it for quite
some time now.  The only thing this latest rumour reveals is that it's
an Elder Scrolls MMORPG that they've been working on.  The team that was
working on Skyrim in parallel will presumably move onto another project,
probably another single player RPG, while the MMORPG team continues on
its own project.
