During the Summer Game Fest event, EA announced that Star Wars Zero Company, the upcoming turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor and Lucasfilm Games, will release on August 27, 2026. The game wlil be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S with pre-orers now available.
Alongside the announcement, Bit Reactor shared a new gameplay trailer, giving us our best look yet at the game's gritty, cinematic take on the Star Wars universe. Star Wars Zero Company will feature an original story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. But rather than focusing on large-scale warfare and massive world destruction, players will experience "the war beneath the war."
"Star Wars Zero Company’s visual storytelling and gameplay will immerse players in a tense, clandestine conflict taking place in the shadows of the Clone Wars," EA teased. "Players will step into the shoes of former Galactic Republic officer Hawks and current leader of Zero Company. Zero Company is an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, including a Clone Trooper, a Mandalorian of the ancient Clan Verminoth, a Jedi Padawan and more. Together, Zero Company must hunt down and stop Kundri Fathom, leader of the Separatist-aligned cult, the Infinite Coil."
Star Wars Zero Company isn't just about the tactical decisions you make on the battlefield either. The choices you make between battles will also have an impact. The Den will serve as your place of operations, where you'll recruit Operators and progress theri skills. You'll upgrade facilities and purchase enw equipment — all of which will be instrumental in setting your team up for success.
Customization will play a huge role in the game with Operators created from eight iconic Star Wars species: Devaronian, Human, Neimoidian, Ovissian, Togruta, Twi’lek, Weequay and Zabrak. Players can unlock new support abilities, including cross-training benefits that can improve abilities and stats of Operators.
Your success on and off the battlefield will shape the journey and how the story of Star Wars Zero Company unfolds. There are over 150 planets you can visit in an "ever-changing" galaxy map, so no playthrough will be identical.
“Our team has poured everything we love about Star Wars into Zero Company,” said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. “The bold characters, powerful storytelling, striking settings and the sense of heart beneath the battles in Star Wars has helped us create an experience that pushes the tactics genre forward by combining deep gameplay with cinematic elegance. We’ve worked hand-in-hand with Lucasfilm Games to create an authentic Star Wars story packed with unique new characters, robust character customization, a new ship, Separatist Droids and much more, all rooted in the conflict of The Clone Wars.”
“Star Wars Zero Company delivers an entirely new experience in the galaxy and for our fans,” added Douglas Reilly, VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games. “It pairs cinematic storytelling with strategic gameplay in a way that feels fresh for the franchise. Some of the most interesting stories come from new perspectives, and Zero Company explores the Clone Wars from deep within the shadows of the conflict, through a lens we haven’t seen before, while still feeling completely authentic to the world fans know.”
