"Star Wars: Zero Company Revealed by Respawn and Bit Reactor This Weekend"

After a small leak last week, EA has officially announced the title of its upcoming Star Wars game, Star Wars: Zero Company, which is being developed by the newly-formed strategy game studio, Bit Reactor. This exciting project also receives support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn.

Details about Star Wars: Zero Company remain scarce, but we do know it will be a "single-player turn-based tactics game." Fans won't have to wait long for more information, as EA has scheduled a first look at the game on April 19 during Star Wars Celebration in Japan.

Bit Reactor, founded in 2022, comprises veterans from renowned titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. Although it was previously known that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this is the first time concrete details have been shared.

The extent of Respawn's involvement in Star Wars: Zero Company remains somewhat unclear. Respawn has faced several challenges recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS project a year ago, mass layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS incubation project last month.

For those eager to learn more, a live panel on Star Wars: Zero Company is set for Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. Unfortunately, this translates to 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET in the U.S., so set your alarms if you don't want to miss out on the latest updates.
