From what I understand, Tomino himself said it might be Gundam Reconquista or might not be, and that its not his decision to make (so probably Sunrise's marketing department will make that determination... Since they control the Gundam brand).

But the show is definitely Gundam-related.

In fact, I found a Japanese blog post from 2007 that indicated that the title "Gundam Reconquista" was trademarked in Japan (this was around the same time as Gundam 00)... So it seems like Tomino wanted to do this project for a while.
