Star Wars Zero Company looks like XCOM with Jedi and droids
Briefly

EA and Lucasfilm previewed Star Wars Zero Company at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, a single-player strategy game set in the Star Wars universe. Announced in 2022, the game, developed by Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor, will feature players controlling Hawks, a former Republic officer. Inspired by strategy titles like XCOM, the game emphasizes tactical combat and player choices amidst an original Clone Wars narrative. Anticipated for release in 2026 on major platforms, the project aims to blend Star Wars appeal with strategy game nuances.
In Star Wars Zero Company, players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story.
Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay.
Striking some kind of balance between the mass appeal of Star Wars and the niche expectations of strategy and tactics fans has always been the goal of Zero Company.
The game was originally announced in 2022 as one of three new Star Wars titles being developed or co-developed by Respawn Entertainment.
