It’s been teased, and even leaked, but the full reveal of the next Star Wars game has finally happened! Developed by Bit Reactor and in Collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, welcome to the world of Star Wars Zero Company, a whole new turn-based single-player set during the end of the Clone Wars.
To help introduce us to the world, EA has released a cinematic trailer that also gives us our first look at the gameplay.
Bit Reactor Channels XCOM Tactics for Their New Star Wars Game
In Star Wars Zero Company, players will take on the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer who is tasked with taking on an emerging threat, which, if left unchecked, will consume the entire galaxy. Fortunate for the Hawks, he has Zero Company, a ragtag group of characters from all reaches of the galaxy.
“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,” said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. “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.”
“At Lucasfilm Games, we’re huge tactics fans and we have wanted to make a game like this for a long time,” said Douglas Reilly, GM & VP, Lucasfilm Games. “The best tactics games are all about meaningful choices, and we’re confident we have chosen the right squad in Bit Reactor to deliver a compelling and innovative title that is authentic to Star Wars.”
Bit Reactor confirms that the game is a single-player game where players will embark on tactical operations and investigations across the galaxy. Hawks’ appearance and class will be fully customizable, with recruitable and squadmates having customizable loadouts and unlockable abilities. They even confirmed some character archetypes, including Clone Troopers, astromechs, and even a Jedi.
Star Wars Zero Company has no release date yet, but it is expected to be within a 2026 window and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Check out our earlier report about it last month, which includes early screenshots and more.
