EA and Lucasfilm Games took to the stage at Star Wars Celebration Japan to officially reveal Star Wars Zero Company, a single-player turn-based tactics game set during the waning days of the Clone Wars. Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, the upcoming title will launch in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
In Zero Company, players step into the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer turned mercenary leader, who commands a squad of battle-hardened operatives through high-stakes missions across the galaxy. The team—known as Zero Company—comprises professionals from all walks of galactic life, united under one banner to face an emerging threat that could upend the already fragile balance of the Clone Wars era.
“Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay,” said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. “We’re crafting a game where player choices have real consequences, wrapped in a gritty Clone Wars-era narrative.”
Douglas Reilly, GM & VP at Lucasfilm Games, added, “We’ve wanted to create a Star Wars tactics game for a long time. The best tactics games are all about meaningful decisions, and we believe Bit Reactor is the perfect squad to bring that vision to life.”
Customize Your Commander. Recruit Your Crew. Rewrite the Galaxy.
Gameplay in Star Wars Zero Company focuses on carefully planned tactical operations and galaxy-spanning investigations. Between missions, players will manage a base of operations, build relationships with a network of informants, and customize their squad of operatives. Hawks, the lead protagonist, can be customized across both appearance and combat class, while recruited team members span a variety of iconic Star Wars archetypes—from Clone Troopers and astromechs to Jedi.
Each operative can be tailored with unique loadouts, abilities, and visual styles, giving players total freedom in crafting their dream team. As missions unfold, bonds will form between squadmates, unlocking powerful synergy abilities that can shift the tide of battle in dramatic fashion.
With its mix of strategic depth, Clone Wars storytelling, and fully customizable characters, Star Wars Zero Company is shaping up to be one of the most promising Star Wars games in years.
A full reveal trailer is available to watch now, offering a glimpse into the cinematic scope and tactical gameplay players can expect.
