Get ready for an exciting reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2025: EA's much-anticipated Star Wars turn-based tactics game is set to be showcased. Announced in early 2022, this untitled strategy game is being crafted by Bit Reactor, a studio formed by veterans from Firaxis Games, renowned for their work on the XCOM series. In collaboration with Star Wars Jedi developers Respawn Entertainment, Bit Reactor is ready to unveil their latest project on April 19 during a live panel. This event will feature key members from Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games, as detailed on the official Star Wars Celebration 2025 schedule.
While details about the game remain scarce, including its setting within the Star Wars universe and specific gameplay mechanics, the involvement of former XCOM developers suggests a strategy experience deeply immersed in the Star Wars lore. Fans can look forward to a unique tactical adventure that blends the rich storytelling and universe of Star Wars with the challenging gameplay mechanics of turn-based strategy.
In other Star Wars gaming news, Respawn Entertainment is also progressing with the third installment of their Star Wars Jedi series, though it won't be featured at this year's Celebration. Previously, Respawn was developing another Star Wars game, a first-person shooter potentially starring a Mandalorian, but this project was canceled amid a significant restructuring at EA that led to the loss of approximately 670 jobs. Additionally, Respawn recently discontinued a multiplayer first-person shooter project, resulting in further staff cuts.
At Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm will also provide a sneak peek at the upcoming film, "The Mandalorian & Grogu," set for release in May 2026, along with a first look at "Star Wars: Visions Volume 3." These events promise to keep the Star Wars excitement alive and well into the future.
