Electronic Arts revealed the new video game, Star War Zero Company, yesterday at Star Wars Celebration Japan. The new video game is developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The title is a new turn-based tactics game set during the Clone Wars. The game launches later next year.
In Star Wars Zero Company, players take the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer to comand an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. As an outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, Zero Company has to set aside their differences to overcome impossible odds and take on an emerging threat that could consume the galaxy if left unchecked.
Speaking on the news, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor Greg Foertsch commented, “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.” He continued, “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.”
Lucasfilm Games GM & VP Douglas Reilly commented, “At Lucasfilm Games, we’re huge tactics fans and we have wanted to make a game like this for a long time.” He continued, “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.”
Zero Company will feature a campaign of tactical operations and investigations across the galaxy. Between missions, players develop a base of operations and gather intelligence through a network of informants and stay one step ahead of Zero Company’s adversaries. Players will also have the freedom to create and customize their own squad of recruited operators and get to know a cast of newly authored Star Wars characters.
Hawks’ appearance and combat class in the game can be fully customized, and the recruited operatives can be personalized from a range of original Star Wars character classes and species. Players will also be able to tweak their squadmates’ appearances, load-outs, and abilities across a large variety of character archetypes, including Clone Troopers, astromechs and even a Jedi. In the field, players will be able to forge bonds in their groups to unlock combat synergies that can turn the tide in battle.
Star Wars Zero Company is currently slated for a 2026 release. The game will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC. The official announcement trailer is available below:
