  • Star Wars Zero Company offers players a new tactical gaming experience set in the Clone Wars era.
  • Players can customize characters, recruit operatives, and make meaningful choices affecting the game’s outcome.
  • The game features engaging turn-based tactics gameplay with a strategic layer and deep combat mechanics.

As a die-hard Star Wars enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share the news about EA’s latest strategy game – the much-anticipated “Star Wars Zero Company,” which was officially unveiled on April 19, 2025 at the Star Wars Celebration event in Japan. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Any widely recognized entertainment series, such as Star Wars, typically sparks a variety of video game spin-offs. However, George Lucas’ iconic creation boasts an exceptionally broad and eclectic collection of games. These span from critically acclaimed titles like Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefront to more eccentric party games like Star Wars Kinect and Super Bombad Racing. Essentially, there’s a Star Wars game for every gaming preference.

In a new development, Electronic Arts (EA) is venturing into the realm of tactical games with “Star Wars Zero Company”, a game created by Bit Reactor and set for release in 2026 on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. This game centers around an elite team of operatives, and it unfolds during the final phases of the Clone Wars, one of the most significant conflicts in Star Wars history. Players will assume command of this unique squad as they execute missions behind the scenes of the Clone Wars’ most monumental battles, shaping the war by influencing events off the historical battlefield.

EA Unveils Tactical Game Star Wars Zero Company

In the game titled “Star Wars Zero Company“, players will assume the role of Hawks, a reformed officer from the Republic. Similar to other games in the Star Wars series that offer character customization, players can decide on Hawks’ physical appearance and combat class. Additionally, they’ll have the opportunity to enlist agents from various classes and species, allowing them to modify their team members’ appearances, gear, and skills. The available classes include astromech droids, clone troopers from the Grand Army of the Republic, and a Jedi. The trailer suggests several other potential characters, such as one wearing a gas-filled helmet, a smuggler armed with blasters, and even a Mandalorian warrior equipped with a jetpack.

According to Bit Reactor’s CEO, Greg Foertsch, the team’s concept for Star Wars Zero Company is built on an immersive turn-based strategy gaming experience. Their goal with Zero Company is to offer an innovative story set during the Clone Wars era, where player decisions will shape significant outcomes, along with intense tactical combat. During downtime between missions, players will develop a base and gather intelligence through informants to gain an advantage over their enemies. Although Bit Reactor didn’t directly compare it in their presentation, the detailed description appears to draw inspiration from XCOM, which combined turn-based tactical battles with a strategic layer, customizable squads, and base development systems. The gameplay footage shown in the trailer shows characters taking cover and using abilities similar to those seen in XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2.

As a devoted Star Wars enthusiast, I’m absolutely thrilled about the tidbits unveiled at the latest Star Wars Celebration! The horizon for us fans is brimming with excitement as we anticipate the arrival of new series, movies, merchandise, and here’s an added bonus – strategy game aficionados like myself can hardly wait to dive into tactical battles when Star Wars Zero Company lands in 2026.
