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

Following a minor leak last week, Electronic Arts (EA) has officially announced the title of their upcoming Star Wars game, named Star Wars: Zero Company. The development is being led by Bit Reactor, with collaborative efforts from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. This exciting new addition to the Star Wars gaming universe is set to be a "single-player turn-based tactics game".

While details about Star Wars: Zero Company are currently limited, fans won't have to wait long for more information. EA has promised a first look at the game during Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19. Bit Reactor, the studio behind this project, is a fresh strategy game studio established in 2022. It boasts a team of seasoned developers who have previously worked on renowned titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. Although we've known for some time that Bit Reactor was crafting a Star Wars game alongside Respawn, this announcement marks the first time concrete details have been shared.

The extent of Respawn's involvement remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced significant challenges recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS project last year, coupled with widespread layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month.

Fans eager to learn more about Star Wars: Zero Company can mark their calendars for a live panel scheduled for Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For those in the U.S., that translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so make sure to set your alarms accordingly.
