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

Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially unveiled the name of its latest Star Wars game: Star Wars: Zero Company. This exciting new title is being crafted by the newly-formed studio Bit Reactor, with the backing of Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The game promises to deliver a unique experience as a "single-player turn-based tactics game," marking a fresh addition to the Star Wars gaming universe.

While details about Star Wars: Zero Company are currently scarce, fans won't have to wait long for more insights. EA has scheduled a first look at the game during Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19. Bit Reactor, a studio established in 2022, comprises industry veterans from renowned titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. Their expertise is set to bring a strategic depth to the Star Wars saga.

The involvement of Respawn in the development of Star Wars: Zero Company remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced recent hurdles, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS project last year and the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month, amidst significant layoffs at EA.

For those eager to learn more, a live panel dedicated to Star Wars: Zero Company is set for Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. Unfortunately, for fans in the U.S., this translates to 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so be sure to set your alarms if you don't want to miss out on the latest updates.
