Summary
Respawn and Bit Reactor’s turn-based tacticalStar Warsgame might be namedStar Wars: Zero Company,according to a new leak. This mystery project was one of threeStar Warsgames announced by Respawn and Electronic Arts back in 2022. The others were the acclaimed sequelStar Wars Jedi: Survivorand a first-person shooter that hasn’t been officially named at this time.
TheStar Warsfranchise lends itself well to strategy gaming, and Bit Reactor certainly has pedigree in the genre thanks to being founded by former members of Firaxis Games - the studio behindsuch franchises asCivilizationandXCOM. The possibilities for this game are almost as vast as theStar Warsgalaxy itself, which has expanded even further in recent years thanks to Disney + spin-off shows likeThe MandalorianandAndor. Still, there haven’t been many further details about Respawn and Bit Reactor’s mysteryStar Warsgame since its initial announcement a few years ago.
Lucasfilm recently revealed that fans will finally get their first true look at Respawn and Bit Reactor’s turn-basedStar Warsgame at anupcoming weekend-long Star Wars Celebrationevent in Japan on April 19, but some major details might have been leaked early thanks to an investigation byMP1st. According to this unconfirmed leak, the game is calledStar Wars: Zero Company.
New Star Wars Turn-Based Game Allegedly Titled Zero Company
Previous reports from MP1sthave included alleged screenshots ofStar Wars: Zero Companythat indicate the game will have an isometric view. Some of the characters featured included a pair of Mandalorian mercenaries and a droid taking cover from enemy Stormtroopers during a prison rescue mission of some sort. Other leaked images include a hub world set in a mining colony in The Ring of Kafrene, a locationStar Warsfans mightrecognize fromRogue One: A Star Wars Story. This hub world reportedly includes customization options such as Armory, Holotable, Special Ops, and Black Market.
Of course, none of the information in these leaks has been officially verified, so fans should stay skeptical until more concrete proof presents itself at the Japanese Star Wars Celebration event later this month. There, gamers will finally know whatRespawn and Bit Reactor have been working onfor the past few years and how it connects to the larger lore of the ever-growingStar Warsuniverse. Other majorStar Warsgames in development include Quantic Dreams’Star Wars Eclipseand Saber Interactive’s remake of the belovedStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
