At Star Wars Celebration this weekend, EA, Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games officially unveiled Star Wars Zero Company. This is a new tactics game, developed by Bit Reactor studios, a game studio founded by former XCOM veterans.
In Star Wars Zero Company, players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. As an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, Zero Company must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds and take on an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked.
Speaking on the game, Bit Reactor CEO and creative director, Greg Foertsch, said: “Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay. It’s our aim to deliver a game with an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era that has meaningful outcomes from player choices, and deep turn-based tactical combat with an approachable and cinematic presentation.”
Like in XCOM, players will be able to customise their squads by changing combat classes, changing character appearance, and mixing things up by recruiting new squad members from various factions to open up new tactical advantages on the battlefield. The game even features XCOM's famous ‘Iron Man' permadeath mode for those who want to turn every skirmish into a high-stakes affair.
Unfortunately, we are still some ways off from getting to play the game. Currently, Star Wars Zero Company is planned to launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2026.
