From Polygon:

Master of Orion, the classic turn-based strategy game series dormant since for more then a decade, is back with better graphics and refocused gameplay thanks to an injection of developers and money by World of Tanks publisher Wargaming.

Wargaming purchased the rights to the Master of Orion property in 2013 during an Atari bankruptcy auction. Today, the company announced its plans to reboot Master of Orion, developing the first game in the series since 2003's Master of Orion 3.

While Wargaming originally made a name for itself with the science fiction strategy game Massive Assault, the company decided to bring on Argentinian-based NGD Studios to create the reboot with the help of key members from the original game's team.

Players can expect a revamped user interface, an orchestral score from the original game's composer, voiceovers by well-known actors, new user tutorials, according to the announcement.
Trailer here

Edit: Sorry, I just re-read the announcement again, and it's apparently a reboot, so not new new. :P

I hope they don't manage to screw up this remake. Still waiting to see what Chris Taylor is working on.

Sounds nice, I love the original. Now I hope the remake will be great and be here on GoG :)

If it's made by any of the people that worked on MoO3, then there's gonna be blood .

I doubt Quicksilver Software is still around.

Aren't all rumors point to a new Total Annihilation?

Tips for a good MOO game (or any game for that matter)

1. Do not overprice early access tech demo disguised as a full release and call it a game.

2. Do not go Steam exclusive. The market tree has many branches. Try some of the other fruit on the tree (quick plug for GOG goes here).

3. Do not treat the player any dumber than he probably already does himself. Don't worry about including elements that the player might not understand or appreciate. The subconscious mind works in mysterious ways. Your eyes might not have picked something up, but your brain did.

4. Look at everything about MOO3. Study it, soak it all in... then do exactly the opposite of that.

That would be awesome if done in a 2d "classic" style, and not like SupComm.

I thought SupComm was supposed to be the "new Total Annihilation". Or wasn't that supposed to be Planetary Annihilation?

It was, and it's a pretty good RTS but not as good as TA. Planetary Annihilation was just disappointing/bad.

Yeah, it seems so. Chris Taylor did all he could to leave as many hints as possible in an interview a year ago.

I don't want to complain , but i think it will be a free to play game . ( Wargaming.net )

I liked the graphics evolution. Not much game play seen. I'll keep an eye on it. Loved MOO2

Considering this showed no actual gameplay or much of the engine they're gonna be using, if it's going to be TBS, RTS or classic 4X, I'm not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. If they turn it into a Sword of the Stars knock off, I'm out. I have MOO 2 I can still play either way!

I don't think I had a game announcement before that filled me with so much excitement and dread at the same time.
