It seems that Lucasfilm Games is teaming up with EA for more than a sequel to Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, as it has just been announced that Bit Reactor is working hard on a new single-player turn-based tactics game for PC, Xbox Series consoles, and PlayStation 5.
The new title, led by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, was revealed on the Star Wars website, showcasing some of the characters under your command. “Recruit an unconventional team of operatives and deploy them on missions unlike any other in the galaxy far, far away in Star Wars Zero Company!” reads the opening blurb on the website, before explaining a little more about the project.
There’s not much further information available for Zero Company just yet, but fans eager for more can tune into Star Wars Celebration Japan on April 19th at 4:30PM Japan Standard Time for the first details on the game. It’s been a while since we got a Star Wars game that tries something new, so this could be something worth keeping an eye on.
Bit Reactor features talent that worked on XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online, so this game seems to be in pretty safe hands. Bit Reactor are supported by Respawn and Lucasfilm Games, but there’s no information on how involved they are. Respawn had one of their own Star Wars titles cancelled last year, so it’s possible they moved some of their assets and resources to this project.

I created this website as I feel the state of the games industry and games reporting as a whole has gotten overly negative and full of clickbait. While I understand both of these are a great way to generate engagement, it’s a detriment to those gamers (like myself) that are just trying to enjoy games and not have to worry about the negativity of the current state of the gaming industry. I want a space where gamers can come for unbiased news that doesn’t rely on clickbait or rumours with a dash of humour and have the opportunity to share their passion for games.
