Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor have finally unveiled Star Wars Zero Company, the much-anticipated turn-based strategy game set in the Star Wars universe. Initially announced in 2022, this title represents one of three Star Wars projects published by EA at the time. The first, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, debuted in 2023, while the third—a Mandalorian-focused first-person shooter—was unfortunately canceled.

The Star Wars franchise offers a rich backdrop for real-time strategy games, and fans have eagerly speculated about Respawn and Bit Reactor's vision. Bit Reactor, established in 2022 by veterans from Firaxis Games—known for legendary strategy titles like Civilization and XCOM—brings a wealth of expertise to the project. Combined with Respawn's acclaimed work on the Star Wars Jedi series, Star Wars Zero Company holds tremendous promise.

EA's official website confirms that Respawn and Bit Reactor's game is titled Star Wars Zero Company. While the name had previously surfaced in leaks, its official announcement solidifies the project's identity. Alongside the title, EA released captivating promotional artwork featuring the game's protagonists: a Tognath Jedi wielding a lightsaber, a former Clone Trooper, a Mandalorian warrior, a striking red-and-silver R5 astromech droid, a hazmat-suited individual, and a shadowy figure holding a hologram of a BD-1 Battle Droid.

Further details about Star Wars Zero Company will be unveiled at Star Wars Celebration Japan on April 19, as reported by Gemastu.
