EA and Lucasfilm just pulled back the curtain on Star Wars Zero Company, and let me tell you, it’s not your average Star Wars game. This single-player strategy title is mixing things up with a tactical flavor, set right as the Clone Wars are winding down. You’ll be calling the shots for an elite squad led by Hawks—yeah, that former Republic officer with a reputation. Crafted by Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor (a dream team if there ever was one), mark your calendars for 2026 when it hits PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
And here’s the kicker: the game’s got XCOM: Enemy Unknown vibes, and that’s totally on purpose. Bit Reactor’s crew includes some of the brilliant folks from Firaxis (the brains behind XCOM), so expect a mash-up of turn-based strategy that’ll make you think and storytelling that’ll pull you right into the Star Wars saga. Greg Foertsch, the creative director at Bit Reactor, is all about making sure the game’s easy to pick up but hard to put down, whether you’re here for the Star Wars lore or the strategy chops.
At its heart, Star Wars Zero Company is about the choices you make and the battles you fight, offering a fresh take on the Clone Wars era. It’s clear the developers are pouring their love for strategy games into this, all while keeping that Star Wars magic alive. So, gear up—it’s going to be one heck of a ride. 🚀
