"Respawn and Bit Reactor to Unveil Star Wars: Zero Company This Weekend"

Following a minor leak last week, Electronic Arts (EA) has officially unveiled the title of their upcoming Star Wars game: Star Wars: Zero Company. This exciting new addition to the Star Wars gaming universe is being crafted by the newly-formed studio, Bit Reactor, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games and Respawn.

While details are scarce, we know that Star Wars: Zero Company will be a single-player turn-based tactics game, promising a unique gameplay experience within the Star Wars saga. Fans won't have to wait long for more insights, as EA has scheduled a first look at the game during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19.

Bit Reactor, established in 2022, is composed of industry veterans who have worked on acclaimed titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. Although it was known that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, this marks the first official disclosure of specifics about Star Wars: Zero Company.

Respawn's exact role in the development remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced significant challenges recently, including the cancellation of a Star Wars FPS project last year, alongside widespread layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month.

Further details about Star Wars: Zero Company will be revealed during a live panel at the Star Wars Celebration on April 19 at 4:30 PM local time in Japan. For those in the U.S., that translates to a late-night reveal at 12:30 AM PT and 3:30 AM ET, so set your alarms to not miss out on this highly anticipated event.
