According to the LinkedIn profile of an Obsidian employee, The Outer Worlds 2 has been in development for a couple of years.

There's no gameplay and nothing showcased may actually be in the full game. But it's coming and will launch day one on Game Pass.
Obsidian Entertainment might be primed to have an eventful E3 this year, according to a recently published report.
Obsidian Entertainment might be at work on the next game in their new series.
