Well, specifically the LinkedIn Profile said that their 2nd new game was in an established franchise. Alot of people assumed that meant Fallout since it's an IP that several high ranking members of the studio, including Brian Fargo himself, already have an intimate history with, but it could be a different IP. I do think the 2nd game is most likely a smaller effort, which fits with a 2D Fallout, there is no way they are working on 2 AAA games at once with their relatively low developer count. I can say that inXile was definitely working on 2 games at once as of a few years ago, any speculation that they are only working on one is likely inaccurate, they would had to have cancelled the 2nd game to only be working on one:

Established IP could literally mean Bards Tale V or Wasteland 4 though, Lol. Idk why people would jump to Fallout.
I think Brian will be focused on their New IP as it's the AAA which will be their big statement piece.
I looked up and InXile has two Creative Directors/Game Directors, Chad Moore who is leading the AAA New IP and David Rogers who is currently listed as Lead Designer & Creative Director, if David isn't on the AAA then he's likely running a 2nd team, David was also the Lead Designer on Wasteland 3 and Creative Director of The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep. He has no history with Fallout.
However with that tweet, what I saw people saying was that since the tweet is so soon after Wasteland 3 (literally a month) he could be referring to Wasteland 3 as the first RPG and the AAA FPS/RPG as the second RPG...Looking at the replies to that tweet, that speculation may be true. As we know Chad Moore is leading the AAA New IP.
Man, that game must be really cool. #SecretProject

But whether we've read that tweet wrong or not, it's likely that David Rogers isn't on the AAA team unless he's Lead Designer on it.
