Is Bethesda working on a secret project due to launch this year? That's what reports are [...]
"I probably... was rambling. Ignore."

Attempting to put a lid on the newly opened can of worms, Pete Hines chimed in on Twitter to try and calm everyone down -- or to try to at least get everyone to stop talking about it:
I probably just had a concussion from the beating I took online and was rambling. Ignore.

"I probably just had a concussion from the beating I took online and was rambling. Ignore." Hmm. We're not sure if we buy that, Pete. It sounds like you may have just spoken a little too soon, and you're trying to play the whole thing down. It's okay, though. We don't think you revealed too much. In fact, we think you should keep talking! What's in the box?!
There's a chance that Hines did let something slip, but he let the wrong thing slip. It's possible that a new game will be revealed, this year, but not launched. There's also a chance that when he said "this year," he meant this fiscal year, which means the game could launch any time between now and March 2018.
Could it be Game of Thrones?

It's also worth noting that, a while back, Game of Thrones fans were going nuts over a Target listing for something called "Bethesda: Game of Thrones" was listed on its website. That Target listing was the first, last, and only mention of a Game of Thrones project from Bethesda, and it has since disappeared. After report of the listing spread like wildfire, Target reached out to us to officially state that the product did not exist, and promptly apologized for the confusion.
Target is hoping that we've all forgotten about that listing, but we didn't. Is that listing and Pete Hines' comment connected in some way?
Hopefully we'll get some clarification soon -- or a big announcement! In the meantime, what are you hoping for?
