Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially unveiled the title of its upcoming Star Wars game, Star Wars: Zero Company, developed by the newly-formed strategy game studio Bit Reactor, with assistance from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. This exciting announcement has sparked curiosity among fans eager to explore a new dimension of the Star Wars universe.
Details about Star Wars: Zero Company are still sparse, but it's confirmed to be a "single-player turn-based tactics game." Fans won't have to wait long for more insights, as EA plans to showcase a first look at the game on April 19 during Star Wars Celebration in Japan.
Bit Reactor, established in 2022, is comprised 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 the studio was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this marks the first time concrete details have been shared about Zero Company.
The extent of Respawn's involvement remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced its share of hurdles recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS last year and another multiplayer FPS project just last month, alongside significant layoffs at EA.
Further revelations about Star Wars: Zero Company will be disclosed during a live panel on April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For fans in the U.S., this translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so be sure to set your alarms to catch all the latest updates on this highly anticipated game.
