Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially announced the title of its upcoming Star Wars game: Star Wars: Zero Company. The game is being developed by the newly formed studio Bit Reactor, with assistance from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The first official artwork for Zero Company has been released, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse into what's in store.
Details about Star Wars: Zero Company are still scarce, 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 plans to unveil a first look at the game on April 19 during Star Wars Celebration in Japan.
Bit Reactor, the studio behind Zero Company, was established in 2022 and is comprised of seasoned developers who have worked on acclaimed titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. While we've known for some time that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this is the first occasion we've received concrete details about what the game entails.
Respawn's role in the development of Zero Company remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced significant hurdles recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS last year and widespread layoffs at EA, as well as the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month.
Further insights into Star Wars: Zero Company will be shared during a live panel on Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For fans in the U.S., this translates to 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so mark your calendars and set your alarms to catch all the latest updates on this highly anticipated title.
