XCOM-style tactics game ‘Star Wars Zero Company’ announced

Respawn Entertainment has been quietly working on a Star Wars strategy game for a few years now in collaboration with Bit Reactor, a studio founded by former XCOM developers. Now, just days ahead of the game's unveiling at Star Wars Celebration, we have a proper title – Star Wars Zero Company. 

Star Wars Zero Company is a new tactics game developed by former XCOM developers at their new studio, Bit Reactor, with support provided by the masters of modern-day Star Wars games, Respawn Entertainment. Zero Company will be a single-player strategy game, offering players a complete campaign to work through, with players carefully mastering their squad's synergistic abilities level-by-level.

Like in XCOM, players will control small squads and carefully move from cover to cover across the map to gain an advantage on enemies. Interestingly, the art style is similar to The Clone Wars animated series and other modern animated Star Wars series like Rebels.

The game will be properly announced on April 19th on the ‘Galaxy Stage' at Star Wars Celebration on April 19th.

KitGuru Says: As a fan of XCOM, I have high hopes for this. We'll get to know more about the game in just a few days, barring any further leaks prior to that.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
