The Clone Wars

A rich world to discover
Zero Company stands out for its turn-based tactical approach, developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. Between each mission, players will have to develop their base of operations and gather intelligence via a network of informants to stay one step ahead of their adversaries.
Customization plays a central role in the game: Hawks can be modified in terms of both appearance and combat class, while squad members can be recruited from different classes and species from the Star Wars universe. Each operator also has their own skills, equipment, and abilities, allowing you to create a tailor-made team to successfully complete each mission.
Our opinion on this new title
It's clear that Respawn is making a strong case to convince us. In addition to the trailer, which boasts a pleasing aesthetic, the panel was an opportunity to appreciate the colossal work put into bringing this project to fruition. The care taken to create a universe consistent with the rest of the saga, as well as the attention to detail, tickled the boxes of fans of the galaxy far, far away within us. The audience responded as well, with no shortage of applause. While it is still too early to judge the merits of such a project, especially at a time when Not all Star Wars games are unanimously acclaimed, but we can already say that we will be there in 2026 when the title will be available on PCs and the latest generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
