It was announced about six weeks ago on the Down the Tubes blog, a place where every member of this forum should be visiting on a regular basis if you want to keep up with UK comics news:

It was also mentioned on 2000AD's own website that same day:

Cheers Lew. They've also hinted at Roy of the Rovers stuff too, but it's a bit smoke and mirrors at the moment. I know another collection is also in the pipeline but can't say any more about that one just yet. Hoping there will be a few reveals at the 2000AD 40th Anniversary show, where I'm chairing a panel.

i have to admit i don't visit down the tubes or lew's blog as regularly as i should its always comics uk. ebay and fb on a regular basis that's it .

Yes, I've heard of another one too but am sworn to secrecy at present. Suffice to say that things are happening that should please some here. Let the speculation begin!

Well, according to Hibernia comics (who spotted it on Previews), the first merger released comic will be "Lawless Touch" (a Tornado mag story), and it will be printed not on its own but as a Judge Dredd Megazine supplement...
