"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 its upcoming Star Wars game, named "Star Wars: Zero Company." The development is spearheaded by Bit Reactor, with collaborative support from Lucasfilm Games and Respawn. This new addition to the Star Wars gaming universe promises to be a "single-player turn-based tactics game," stirring excitement among fans eagerly awaiting more details. EA has scheduled a first look at the game for April 19 during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan.

Bit Reactor, a freshly established strategy game studio, is at the helm of this project. Founded in 2022, the team comprises industry veterans who have worked on acclaimed titles like XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elder Scrolls Online. While it was known that Bit Reactor was collaborating with Respawn on a Star Wars game, the specifics of "Star Wars: Zero Company" have only now been revealed.

Respawn's exact role in the development remains somewhat ambiguous. The studio has faced significant hurdles recently, including the cancellation of its own Star Wars FPS project a year ago, alongside widespread layoffs at EA, and the termination of another multiplayer FPS project just last month.

Fans can look forward to more insights about "Star Wars: Zero Company" during a live panel on Saturday, April 19 at 4:30pm local time in Japan. For viewers in the U.S., this translates to an early morning event at 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET, so mark your calendars and set your alarms!
