I would hope so. We learn of many interesting places, such as the sinister Carim, the religiously devoted Thorolund, or Catarina (which I like to imagine is filled with rainbows and frolicking ponies). It'd be cool to visit these places. Being trapped in Lordran still would be a very disappointing setting for a sequel.
