Star Wars: Zero Company – A Comprehensive Insight

Unveiled last year after a minor leak, Star Wars: Zero Company is developing into something truly remarkable. This forthcoming tactical strategy game radiates XCOM energy, yet introduces its own unique twists to the mix. Here’s all the information we have about the forthcoming Star Wars: Zero Company.

What is Star Wars: Zero Company?

Zero Company is a solo turn-based tactical strategy game where players command a team of five characters to embark on various missions to achieve specific goals. Similar to XCOM, players can maneuver their squad members for tactical benefits, seek cover, or surprise enemy droids and criminals.

When will Zero Company be released?

EA and Bit Reactor have yet to disclose an official launch date, but it has been confirmed that Star Wars: Zero Company will debut in 2026.

On which platforms will it be available?

Star Wars: Zero Company is expected to be released later this year on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A Switch 2 version has not been confirmed so far.

During which Star Wars era is Zero Company set?

Lucasfilm has verified that Zero Company takes place during the Clone Wars period of the Star Wars universe. This era is characterized by widespread conflict as Clone Troopers battled Separatist Droids across planets such as Genosis, Felucia, and Umbara.

Who is the protagonist of Zero Company?

Players will embody Hawks, a customizable character and the leader of Zero Company. Players can modify Hawks’ name, gender, and species. They are a shamed non-clone former Republic officer. Following an undisclosed incident that compelled them to abandon the Republic, Hawks forms Zero Company to continue combating the Separatists and their enigmatic supporters without Republic backing.

Does it incorporate permadeath, akin to XCOM?

Indeed! Any character aside from Hawks can perish permanently if players are not cautious in Zero Company. Even named comrades important to the game’s narrative, as well as randomly generated cannon fodder that players recruit during their journey, can be lost. No one is exempt from danger. So tread carefully.

Are Jedi present in the game?

Absolutely! There is at least one confirmed Jedi in the game who can be included in your squad: Tel-Rea Vokoss, a Tognath Jedi Padawan aiming to complete her master’s unfinished mission before their death.

Can I navigate levels in third-person?

Yes! Bit Reactor has verified that during narrative missions, players will have the ability to move around levels and explore them outside of combat scenarios.

Wait, Star Wars: Zero Company can be abbreviated to ZCOM…!?

Indeed, it’s hard to believe that was unintentional…

This game is cool, but I’m yearning for a grand Star Wars RPG like KOTOR!

Well, here’s some good news: one of the primary figures behind the original Knights of the Old Republic is creating a new single-player RPG
