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

Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially unveiled the title of their upcoming Star Wars game, along with the team behind its development. The game, named Star Wars: Zero Company, is being crafted by Bit Reactor, with collaborative support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn.

Star Wars: Zero Company is set to be a "single-player turn-based tactics game". Although details are scarce at the moment, fans won't have to wait long for more insights. EA has scheduled a first look at the game for April 19 during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan.

Bit Reactor, the developer behind Star Wars: Zero Company, is a newly established strategy game studio. Founded in 2022, the team comprises veterans who have worked on acclaimed titles such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. It's been known for some time that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars project, but this marks the first occasion we've been given concrete information about what they're working on.

The extent of Respawn's involvement in Star Wars: Zero Company remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced numerous challenges recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS last year, coupled with significant layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS 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 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 if you don't want to miss out on the latest updates.
