Back in March, developer InXile Entertainment (Wasteland 3) confirmed that it was working on an "ambitious" RPG, and now more details about the game have appeared to surface via a job advert.
As originally pointed out by Resetera user SamaGing, InXile Lead Combat Designer Dean Rymer (who formerly worked on God of War) recently advertised roles for a "Microsoft first-party, next-gen, AAA, Unreal Engine 5" project.
Taking a look at these roles further, it's apparent that InXile is working on a next-generation action-RPG, and is currently hiring for various positions including an Environment Artist, Combat Designer, Narrative Designer and others.
It could be some time until we hear more about this one officially, but in the meantime, InXile is also gearing up to release RPG Wasteland 3 which launches for Xbox One, PC and Xbox Game Pass this August.

Xbox has birthed some of my favourite action-RPGs, like Fable, Too Human, and Mass Effect.
My hope is that Turn 10 is doing a soft reboot of Fable as the xbox's fantasy RPG, InXile are doing a third Person sci-fi action RPG as an xbox equivalent of Mass Effect, and Obsidian are going to continue with Outer Worlds as an xbox equivalent of Fallout.
Then we just need an xbox equivalent of Elder Scrolls, and a full reboot of Too Human.
I am excited to see what this team can do with a big budget.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up for another Too Human. That game flopped when it came out & that studio is long gone now. Not too mention the legal issues with the game.
Although it was surprising to see it pop back up on the Xbox store recently.
@KelticDevil Trust me, I'm aware of the game's history. I followed that game like crazy.
Speaking of, the legal issues was between SK and Epic. MS and Epic (as evidenced above) have a great working relationship.
The premise and potential of the Too Human universe was quite special. It could have rivalled Mass Effect and the newest God of War. Wait.... An action-RPG on the epic engine with a guy who has worked on GoW and at Bioware... OK, I change my mind, InXile are making the reboot of Too Human. I'm 100% convinced of it.
