Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially unveiled the title and developer of its upcoming Star Wars game. Named Star Wars: Zero Company, this eagerly anticipated title is being crafted by Bit Reactor, with collaborative support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The first glimpse of official artwork for Zero Company has also been released, generating excitement among fans.
Details on Star Wars: Zero Company remain scarce, 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 offer a first look at the game during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19.
Bit Reactor, the studio behind Zero Company, is a newly established strategy game developer formed in 2022. The team consists of industry veterans who have worked on renowned titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. While we've known for some time that Bit Reactor was developing a Star Wars game in partnership with Respawn, this is the first instance of concrete details being shared about the project.
The exact nature of Respawn's involvement remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced its share of challenges recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS project last year, alongside significant layoffs at EA, and the recent termination of another multiplayer FPS incubation project.
Further details about Star Wars: Zero Company will be disclosed during a live panel at the Star Wars Celebration on Saturday, April 19, at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For fans in the U.S., that translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so be sure to set your alarms if you don't want to miss out on the latest updates.
