STAR WARS Zero Company™

Star Wars Zero Company is a 2026 turn-based tactics video game developed by Bit Reactor and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on August 27, 2026. Part of the Star Wars franchise, the game is set during the waning years of the Clone Wars and the beginning of the Galactic Empire. Players assume control of Tesh Hawks, the leader of Zero Company, a group of misfits and mercenaries tasked with stopping the Infinite Coil, a mysterious cult emerging as a threat to the galaxy. Development began after Bit Reactor's formation in 2022 and was initially pitched as part of the Titanfall universe. That same year, EA announced the then-unnamed game as one of three in active development before being officially announced in early 2025 as Star Wars Zero Company during Star Wars Celebration. It is primarily a turn-based tactics game. Bit Reactor is composed of several former employees from Firaxis Games, which worked on the XCOM series beginning in 2008. The game was designed as an accessible entry point to the genre, although it includes elements such as permadeath. It also features role-playing elements, with players able to customize characters and manage relationships between Hawks and other characters. Combat is done from a top-down perspective, where players use limited action points to move, damage enemies, or support teammates. Outside of combat, level exploration is done from a third-person perspective, intended to evoke the style of traditional action-adventure games. The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised the combat system and plot, although some criticized technical issues. It sold one million copies in its first month of release and is nominated for PC Game of the Year at the 44th Golden Joystick Awards.
