Before today’s major reveal, the game leaked online earlier this month, giving us our first look at the tactical Star Wars game with XCOM influences. 2026 will see the release of the game on the PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
The developers at Bit Reactor and Respawn claim that Zero Company has an original plot that takes place during the Clone Wars. Because it was a unique moment when all sides of the fight were equally strong and large, Lucasfilm claims that this age is ideal for Zero Company.
A combination of Bit Reactor’s original characters and custom characters will be included in Zero Company. According to Respawn and Bit Reactor, you can run a whole custom squad if you want.
Lucasfilm claims that the map in Zero Company is the biggest map seen in a Star Wars video game. Vandor from Solo and Anaxes from Bad Batch are set to appear in the game.
