Also confirmed by a developer:

GeneralDirection, DeveloperHe's the Director of Product Vision at Wargaming. For some reason he's lacking the dev tag here, so we'll get that fixed. ;)

Now I am excited, I absolutely adore Master of Orion 2 (let's not talk about MoO3).

No word on release yet, as it hasn't launched on any platform yet.
