Respawn and Bit Reactor to Unveil Star Wars: Zero Company This Weekend
Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially unveiled the title and development team behind its upcoming Star Wars game. Dubbed *Star Wars: Zero Company*, this eagerly anticipated title is being crafted by the newly established strategy game studio, Bit Reactor, with collaborative support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn.
The image above showcases the first and only official artwork released for Zero Company so far. While details remain sparse, we know that Star Wars: Zero Company will be a thrilling "single-player turn-based tactics game". Fans won't have to wait long for more insights, as EA has promised a first look at the game during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19.
Bit Reactor, formed in 2022, boasts a team of seasoned developers with experience from renowned titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. Although we've been aware of their collaboration with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this announcement marks the first substantial reveal of the game's details.
The extent of Respawn's involvement in *Zero Company* remains somewhat ambiguous. Respawn has faced its share of challenges recently, including the cancellation of their own Star Wars FPS project last year, widespread layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS incubation project just last month.
Further details about *Star Wars: Zero Company* will be disclosed during a live panel on Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For those of us in the U.S., that translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET. Make sure to set your alarms to catch all the exciting updates!
