Star Wars: a very promising new game
The Star Wars saga is at the heart of the news this week, thanks to the Star Wars Celebration, currently taking place in Japan. As fans worried about the future of the franchise, following numerous disappointments (notably the postlogy and some series that were not convincing), Lucasfilm has taken stock of upcoming projects.

The company belonging to Electronic Arts had already distinguished itself in the famous space-opera universe, notably in through the games Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which have met with great success. A sequel has even been officially announced. But the next appointment given The company's first game for fans of the galaxy far, far away will be Star Wars: Zero Company, scheduled for 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
The plot of the video game will take place during the Clone Wars; the player will embody a fully customizable character: a former Republic officer named Hawks, who has become the leader of a troop of professionals entrusted with the most perilous missions. The teaser promises a darker film than Respawn Entertainment's previous Star Wars titles.
With the aim of showing this conflict that changed the face of the galaxy from a new perspective, Star Wars: Zero Company will take the form of a turn-based tactical game, where the player's choices, successes and failures, as well as the composition of their team, will have a major influence on the course of the story.
