Following a recent leak, Electronic Arts (EA) has officially unveiled the title of their upcoming Star Wars game: Star Wars: Zero Company. The game is being crafted by the newly-formed strategy game studio, Bit Reactor, with assistance from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn.
Details about Star Wars: Zero Company remain sparse, but we know it will be a "single-player turn-based tactics game." Fans won't have to wait long for more information, as EA has promised a first look at the game during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19.
Bit Reactor, founded in 2022, is composed of industry veterans who have worked on acclaimed titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. While it was known that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this marks the first time specific details have been shared about the game.
The extent of Respawn's involvement in Star Wars: Zero Company remains somewhat unclear. Respawn has faced significant challenges recently, including the cancellation of their own Star Wars first-person shooter last year, along with widespread layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month.
For those eager to learn more, a live panel dedicated to Star Wars: Zero Company is scheduled for Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. Unfortunately, for viewers in the U.S., this translates to 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so set your alarms if you don't want to miss out on the latest updates.
