"Star Wars: Zero Company Unveiled by Respawn and Bit Reactor This Weekend"

Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially announced the title of their upcoming Star Wars game, dubbed "Star Wars: Zero Company." This exciting new project is being crafted by Bit Reactor, with additional support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The game is set to be a thrilling "single-player turn-based tactics game," and while details are sparse at the moment, fans won't have to wait long for more information. EA has promised a first look at Star Wars: Zero Company during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19.

Bit Reactor, the studio behind Zero Company, is a relatively new player in the gaming industry, having been established in 2022. The team comprises experienced developers from renowned titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. While we've known for some time that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this is the first time we're getting concrete details about what they're working on.

The extent of Respawn's involvement in Star Wars: Zero Company remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced significant challenges recently, including the cancellation of their own Star Wars FPS project a year ago, coupled with mass layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS incubation project just last month.

For those eager to learn more, a live panel dedicated to Star Wars: Zero Company is scheduled for Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For fans in the U.S., this translates to an early morning event at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so make sure to set your alarms to catch all the latest updates on this highly anticipated game.
