Highly anticipated: Electronic Arts is pulling back the curtain on its highly anticipated turn-based strategy title Zero Company, developed by the newly formed Bit Reactor studio. It's set to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game has been a closely guarded secret, but that's set to change soon. The Bit Reactor studio is made up of a crew of industry vets who previously worked on major strategy franchises like XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. It was founded in 2022 and has been cooking up this Star Wars project in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games and Respawn Entertainment. Up until now, details about Zero Company have been basically non-existent beyond it being a single-player turn-based tactics experience set in a galaxy far, far away. But that will change this Saturday, April 19, at the Star Wars Celebration event happening in Japan. EA will host a panel providing our first real look at Zero Company gameplay at 4:30pm local Tokyo time. For those in the US, that translates to 12:30am PT / 3:30am ET screen time. The promo image depicted a gritty, somber aesthetic filled with a ragtag squad of familiar Star Wars archetypes – clone troopers, Mandalorians, alien warriors, a droid, and more. // Related Stories While we'll have to wait for the panel to get the full scoop, some leaked screenshots from March may have given us an early taste of what to expect. Those gave off some serious XCOM vibes, which tracks given the Bit Reactor founders' past experience. One has to imagine we'll see a blend of squad-based combat, parceled-out character abilities, environmental destruction, and tense decision-making under fire as players command their outnumbered forces. Zero Company represents one of three Star Wars games that Respawn teased back in January 2022. We already know one of those was Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the 2023 follow-up to the acclaimed Jedi: Fallen Order. As for the third game mentioned, the studio described it as an "all-new" first-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe.
