Official or not, I find it interesting that 3 different companies have their eye on that particular title to do a remake. Each one specifically states that as their intended aim.

M.O.R.E. has about a 12 month head start on LoR, not to mention they successfully completed their Kickstarter funding drive, so I shouldn't be surprised that they are further along. But tbh, MORE looks to me more like a reboot of Sword of the Stars or perhaps MoO3. In any case, the Kickstarter videos made it sound a lot more complicated than MoO or MoO2... which is probably what will make that title stand out from the others.

The screenshots shown at Lords of Rigel homepage, plus their description of their vision for the project make it sound pretty faithful to MoO2 imo. The UI definitely looks very MoO2-ish. It also looks like they have assembled an interesting international team. They are obviously still in the pre-Kickstarter-pre-alpha phase, but I have my fingers crossed they can pull it off.

What can be said at this point about Wargaming.net's reboot? Well, they own the rights to the originals and obviously have the financing to do it. I'm not familiar with any of the games from NGD Studios. When I look at their trailer, I see maybe the first 20 seconds showing some MoO-ish 2D combat (turn-based, topdown, pentagonal grid, looks like maybe sprites or simple 3D models), and maybe the last 5 seconds showing a galaxy map with lots of wormholes... too many wormholes to be called true to MoO), but the rest of the video I just take as 3D fluff. So I don't know what to make of it.
