Star Wars: Zero Company to Be Officially Revealed From Respawn and Bit Reactor This Weekend

After a small leak last week, EA has confirmed the title of its next Star Wars game, as well as who's making it. It's called Star Wars: Zero Company, and it's being developed by Bit Reactor with support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn.

We don't know much more about Zero Company, except that it be a "single-player turn-based tactics game". We won't have to wait long for more information, though, as EA says it will be giving a first look at the game on April 19 at Star Wars Celebration in Japan.

Developer Bit Reactor is a newly-formed strategy game studio made up of veterans from games like XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. The studio was founded in 2022, and we've known for a while now that it was working on a Star Wars game with Respawn, but this is the first time we've received any real details about the project.

As for Respawn's involvement, it's not 100% clear exactly how involved the studio is. Respawn has undergone a number of difficult challenges lately, including the cancelation of its own Star Wars FPS one year ago alongside mass layoffs at EA, and the cancelation of another multiplayer FPS incubation project just last month.

More about Star Wars: Zero Company will be revealed at a live panel on Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan...which is unfortunately 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET over here in the U.S., so set your alarms accordingly.
