Technically it is the same Reboot that was announced in 2014 since Shibuya Productions is still making it, but the 2D/3D version of Astro Boy Reboot that was being made by both Shibuya Productions and Caribara is canceled. A graphic designer and director for that version, Florian Thouret, has that version of Astro Boy Reboot listed as "canceled" on his website:

By the way, for anyone reading this, I've updated the first post of this thread with info about the old and new versions of Astro Boy Reboot. If you want to know anything about Astro Boy Reboot, check out that post.
