Star Wars Zero Company 2026
Star Wars Zero Company is a 2026 turn-based tactics video game developed by Bit Reactor and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on August 27, 2026.
Set during the waning years of the Clone Wars and the beginning of the Galactic Empire, the game is part of the Star Wars franchise. Players control Tesh Hawks, leader of Zero Company, a group of misfits and mercenaries assigned to stop the Infinite Coil, a mysterious cult threatening the galaxy. Development started after Bit Reactor was formed in 2022 and was initially proposed as a Titanfall universe title. That same year, EA announced the unnamed game as one of three in active development before officially unveiling it in early 2025 as Star Wars Zero Company during Star Wars Celebration.
The game uses a turn-based tactics system. Bit Reactor consists of several former Firaxis Games employees who worked on the XCOM series starting in 2008. Designed as an accessible genre entry, it includes permadeath features and role-playing elements allowing character customization and relationship management between Hawks and other characters. Combat occurs from a top-down view where players use limited action points to move, attack enemies, or support allies. Exploration outside combat is done from a third-person perspective, aiming to capture the feel of classic action-adventure games.
Critics gave the game positive reviews, praising its combat system and storyline, though some noted technical issues. It sold one million copies within its first month and is nominated for PC Game of the Year at the 44th Golden Joystick Awards.
