Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially announced the title of its upcoming Star Wars game, along with its developer. The new game, titled Star Wars: Zero Company, is being developed by the newly formed studio Bit Reactor, with collaboration from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn.
Details about Star Wars: Zero Company are still scarce, but it's confirmed to be a "single-player turn-based tactics game". Fans won't have to wait long for more information, as EA is set to unveil a first look at the game on April 19 during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan.
Bit Reactor, the studio behind Zero Company, is a fresh strategy game developer founded in 2022. It boasts a team of experienced developers who have previously worked on renowned titles like XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. Although it was known that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this is the first time concrete details about the game have been shared.
Respawn's exact role in the development of Zero Company remains somewhat unclear. The studio has faced numerous challenges recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS last year, significant layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month.
Further details about Star Wars: Zero Company will be unveiled during a live panel on Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For those in the U.S., this translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so set your alarms to catch the latest updates on this highly anticipated game.
