Announced during Star Wars Celebration Japan, EA and Lucasfilm Games have revealed Star Wars Zero Company, an all-new single-player turn-based tactics game set in the twilight of the Clone Wars.
Developed by Bit Reactor (a studio founded by XCOM veterans) in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment (Star Wars Jedi series) and Lucasfilm Games, this exciting new title is set to launch in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Star Wars Zero Company puts players in the boots of Hawks, a former Republic officer commanding an elite, unconventional squad known simply as “Zero Company.”
Comprised of professionals for hire from across the galaxy – including Clone Troopers, astromechs, and even a Jedi – this diverse group must overcome their differences and tackle nearly impossible odds to confront an emerging threat poised to consume the galaxy.

Clone Wars Tactics: Gameplay and Customisation
This isn’t just another action game; Zero Company focuses on deep, engaging turn-based tactical combat. Players will embark on a campaign filled with tactical operations and investigations across the galaxy. Expect meaningful choices with real consequences woven into an original Star Wars story.
Between missions, you’ll return to a base of operations to develop your capabilities and gather intelligence through a network of informants, aiming to stay one step ahead of your adversaries.
A major focus is squad customisation:
- Customise Hawks: Tailor the main character’s appearance and combat class.
- Recruit Operatives: Build your squad from a range of original Star Wars character classes and species.
- Personalise Squadmates: Adjust appearances, load-outs, and abilities across various archetypes.
- Forge Bonds: Develop relationships between squad members in the field to unlock powerful combat synergies.
A Vision for Authentic Star Wars Tactics
The teams involved are clearly passionate about delivering an authentic and engaging tactical experience within the Star Wars universe.
