Did Fantasy TBS get changed to MoM remake?

I looked in Wikipedia under Master of Magic and it says Game Informer stated in its latest issue that Stardock is releasing a Master of Magic remake for 2009. Can this be true? I don't have the magazine.

The fantasy strategy game is not a MoM sequel. In the same vein, perhaps, but it's a new universe and title of our own. From  an interview with Frogboy this summer:

Most of our game development team is working on a new fantasy strategy game with a 2009 release date; public beta next year. It’s a turn-based game with tactical combat which is also turn-based. One could describe it as part Master of Magic, part Populous and part X-Com. We’ve developed a pretty extraordinary graphics engine for it. I wish I could take credit for it but the stuff’s way beyond my meager capabilities; the engine team we’ve put together over the last couple of years is just amazing.

Sounds great! I have a very positive feeling about this TBS game and will most likely be purchasing the game.

How can we stay informed / updated on this fantasy games progress? Official website?

I believe if you create an official website and/or forum for this game it will receive good amounts of traffic and help promote the game.
Also I recommend making the game to where it's scalable for more powerful computers... thus 5 years from now gamers will still be able to play the game with the option of using more units and larger maps because they have the more powerful computers. This provides a benefit for the average systems of today and the future systems of tomorrow.

There isn't one yet. But I'm sure if we do release any big news about it, it'll show up here.
