Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially unveiled the title of its upcoming Star Wars game: Star Wars: Zero Company. The development is being spearheaded by Bit Reactor, with collaborative support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The first and only official artwork for Zero Company has been released, providing fans with a glimpse of what's to come.
Details about 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 information, as EA is set to offer a first look at the game during Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19.
Bit Reactor, the studio behind Zero Company, is a newly-formed strategy game developer established in 2022. The team is comprised of industry veterans who have contributed to notable titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. While it was known that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this is the first time concrete details about the game have been disclosed.
Respawn's exact role in the development of Star Wars: Zero Company remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced significant challenges recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS last year and mass 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 an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so be sure to set your alarms.
