How about a turn-based Star Wars game? Electronic Arts, in partnership with Lucasfilm Games, has announced the release of Star Wars: Zero Company for the year 2026. This turn-based strategy video game, developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment, was presented at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan. The exclusively single-player title plunges players into a campaign set at the end of the Clone Wars, at the head of a mercenary squadron called the Zero Company.
"There is an invisible war. A war that goes on in the shadows. A war within the war." Take command of an elite squad through an authentic, unflinching story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars in Star Wars Zero Company™, a single-player turn-based tactics game developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. You play as Hawks, a former Republic officer at the head of Zero Company, a team of eccentric professionals recruited from across the galaxy. Hawks and Company Zero are recruited for an operation that pits them against a new threat that will devour the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks leads a motley crew of allies who must put aside their differences to overcome almost insurmountable obstacles.".
Players take on the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer in charge of a squad of agents from all over the galaxy. The objective is to neutralize an emerging threat that could upset the galactic balance. The game features an innovative narrative and strategic progression, with each choice influencing the course of the mission. Greg Foertsch, CEO of Bit Reactor, explains: " Our aim is to develop a game with an original Star Wars story set during the era of the Clone Wars, where the player's choices have a significant impact.
Tactical missions range from investigative operations to high-stakes combat. Users can customize Hawks and recruit operators from a variety of classes, including clones, Jedi and astromech droids. Character interactions unlock synergistic abilities. Douglas Reilly, Vice President of Lucasfilm Games, comments: " The best tactical games are all about making meaningful choices, and we're confident that we've assembled the right squad with Bit Reactor.
Star Wars: Zero Company will be released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series. You can already add the game to your wish list. No further information on gameplay or testing phases has yet been released.
