Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially announced the title of its upcoming Star Wars game, Star Wars: Zero Company, developed by the newly-formed studio Bit Reactor, with assistance from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The game is described as a "single-player turn-based tactics game," promising a strategic and immersive experience for fans.
Details about Star Wars: Zero Company are still scarce, but EA has promised a first look at the game during Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19. This event will be the perfect opportunity for fans to get a glimpse of what's in store.
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. Their expertise in strategy games is expected to bring a fresh and exciting perspective to the Star Wars universe. While it's known that Bit Reactor has been collaborating with Respawn on this project, the exact nature of Respawn's involvement remains somewhat unclear. Respawn has faced its own set of challenges recently, including the cancellation of a Star Wars FPS and a multiplayer FPS project, as well as significant layoffs at EA.
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. For viewers in the U.S., this translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so set your alarms to catch all the exciting updates.
