Electronic Arts and Lucasfilm are teaming up for “Star Wars Zero Company,” a new single-player turn-based tactics game set during the Clone Wars era in the Star Wars universe.
Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, “In ‘Star Wars Zero Company,’ players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. As an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, Zero Company must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds and take on an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked.”
The game, which was revealed out of Star Wars Celebration Japan on Saturday, will include a cast of new Star Wars characters that are alterable within a player’s squad.
“Hawks’ appearance and combat class can be fully customized, while recruited operatives can be personalized from a range of original Star Wars character classes and species,” including Clone Troopers, astromechs and even a Jedi, according to Bit Reactor.
“Star Wars Zero Company” will be released in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S consoles.
“Our vision for ‘Star Wars Zero Company’ is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay,” Bit Reactor CEO and creative director Greg Foertsch said. “It’s our aim to deliver a game with an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era that has meaningful outcomes from player choices, and deep turn-based tactical combat with an approachable and cinematic presentation.”
“At Lucasfilm Games, we’re huge tactics fans and we have wanted to make a game like this for a long time,” Lucasfilm Games general manager and vice president Douglas Reilly added. “The best tactics games are all about meaningful choices, and we’re confident we have chosen the right squad in Bit Reactor to deliver a compelling and innovative title that is authentic to Star Wars.”
