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

Following a minor leak last week, EA has officially announced the title of its upcoming Star Wars game: Star Wars: Zero Company. This exciting new addition to the Star Wars gaming universe is being developed by Bit Reactor, with collaborative support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. The first official artwork for Zero Company has also been released, giving fans a glimpse of what's to come.

While details about Star Wars: Zero Company are still scarce, we do know that it will be a single-player turn-based tactics game. Fans won't have to wait long for more information, as EA has scheduled a first look at the game for April 19 at Star Wars Celebration in Japan.

Bit Reactor, the studio behind Zero Company, is a newly established strategy game developer formed in 2022. The team comprises industry veterans who have worked on renowned 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 is the first time concrete details have been shared.

Regarding Respawn's role in the project, the specifics of their involvement remain somewhat ambiguous. Respawn has faced its share of challenges recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS project a year ago, coupled with significant layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS incubation project just last month.

Further details about Star Wars: Zero Company will be unveiled during a live panel on Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For fans in the U.S., this translates to an early morning reveal at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so be sure to set your alarms to catch all the latest updates on this highly anticipated game.
