It's very much a reboot and not a remake, Wargaming told us, so don't go in expecting a prettier MOO 2. Almost definitely roughing each other up. Master of Orion's your usual 4X deal: alien factions try to spread across the stars by researching technologies, dabbling in diplomacy, and probably roughing each other up a bit. It's scheduled to float around that spacedock for at least three months, being expanded and improved, before launching properly. If you're feeling bold, you can now see how work is coming along as the Master of Orion reboot has launched into early access. Initial surprise at a Master of Orion reboot coming from World of Tanks has mellowed into a warm hope that they'll do Simtex's classic 4X strategy series justice (them and NGDC Studios, the team actually making it).
