It was an open secret that Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games were collaborating on a new game in the Star Wars universe, which was not a sequel to Jedi Survivor. Rumors and leaks about the franchise's return to the turn-based tactical genre were growing, and it was quickly confirmed. It was therefore up to Bit Reactor, a specialist in strategy-oriented titles, to sign the saga's grand return to a genre it had unfortunately abandoned many years ago. Star Wars Zero Company was finally revealed during this long Easter weekend.
Star Wars Zero Company officially announced
It had been ages since the franchise had traveled into the tactical gaming universe, much to the dismay of many players, but that will change in 2026 with Star Wars Zero Company. A turn-based tactical game playable solo, developed in collaboration by Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment. This time, we will play as Hawks, a former Republic officer who will command an elite squad bringing together an unconventional team of mercenaries from across the galaxy. Zero Company must put their differences aside to overcome the obstacles that await them and put an end to an emerging threat that could consume the entire galaxy if it is not contained in time.
The story of Star Wars Zero Company will therefore take place at the dawn of the Clone Wars, knowing that the choices of the players should have a significant impact on the scenario. "Our goal is to deliver a game with an original story set in this era, with significant consequences based on player choices, a deep yet approachable turn-based combat system, and a very cinematic presentation," explains Greg Foertsch, creative director of Star Wars Zero Company.
The return of the license in turn-based mode
In Star Wars Zero Company, players will embark on a single-player campaign focused on tactical operations and investigations across the galaxy. Between missions, it will be possible to develop your base of operations and gather information thanks to a network of informants that will allow you to gain the advantage over your adversaries. It will then be possible to create and customize your squad as you see fit by recruiting various operators, which can obviously range from Clone troopers to Jedi.
It will also be possible to customize the appearance and the classic of Hawks, the hero you will play. On the field, members of Zero Company will create bonds that will allow you to unlock combat synergies that could turn the tide of a fight. The possibilities seem great with this Star Wars Zero Company, which is clearly a game like no other when it comes to the saga. The game is therefore expected in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
