Star Wars: Zero Company is the official title of the highly anticipated turn-based tactics game from Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor. Set against the backdrop of the famous Clone Wars, players will take command of a squad. The announcement was made earlier today, though specific details remain scarce. A comprehensive presentation has been promised during Star Wars Celebration Japan. For those unable to attend (and let’s be honest, that’s most of us), updates will be available on the official website after the panel wraps up at 4:30 PM JT, which translates to about 3:30 AM ET.
What we do know is that Zero Company is likely a single-player tactical game infused with a narrative focus. There’s been a single image teased that presents “a few members of the elite squad you’ll command.” While the identities of these characters remain under wraps, the image reveals an Umbaran, a Mandalorian, a human, a Clone, and a Droid. Notably, there appears to be a Tognath Jedi included in the team.
Insider rumors have hinted that this game may draw significant inspiration from the X-Com series. The absence of detailed information at this moment isn’t surprising; the developers are building anticipation for the Star Wars celebration, where we can likely expect the unveiling of a trailer. While a release date may not be imminent—given that it’s unclear how far along the project is—there’s a possibility we’ll gain insights into a release timeline since it was first announced back in 2022.
Star Wars enthusiasts surely have plenty to be excited about. With the introduction of Zero Company, the recent confirmation of the Knights of the Old Republic remake being back on track, and the forthcoming second season of Andor, there’s a wealth of thrilling content on the horizon.
