Following a recent leak, Electronic Arts (EA) has officially announced the title of their upcoming Star Wars game, named Star Wars: Zero Company. The development is being spearheaded by the newly established studio, Bit Reactor, with collaborative support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The game is described as a "single-player turn-based tactics game," piquing the interest of strategy game enthusiasts everywhere.
While details remain scarce, fans won't have to wait long for more information. EA has promised a first look at Star Wars: Zero Company during the Star Wars Celebration event in Japan on April 19. This reveal promises to shed more light on what players can expect from this intriguing new entry in the Star Wars gaming universe.
Bit Reactor, founded in 2022, is comprised of industry veterans who have contributed to renowned titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. Their experience in strategy gaming bodes well for the potential quality of Star Wars: Zero Company. Although we've known about their involvement in a Star Wars project alongside Respawn, this is the first time concrete details have been shared about the game.
Regarding Respawn's role, the exact nature of their involvement remains somewhat unclear. The studio has faced its share of challenges recently, including the cancellation of their own Star Wars FPS project last year, alongside significant layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month.
More insights into Star Wars: Zero Company will be unveiled during a live panel at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan on Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time. For fans in the U.S., that translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so set those alarms and prepare for an exciting glimpse into the future of Star Wars gaming.
