Get ready, Star Wars fans! EA and Disney have announced that *Star Wars Zero Company*, the highly anticipated strategy game, will be launching in 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. This news follows the initial reveal of the game’s title earlier this year, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more details.
The game will place players in the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading an elite squad of operatives. The narrative promises a gritty and realistic portrayal of the Clone Wars’ twilight years, offering a fresh perspective on this pivotal era of the Star Wars saga. Players will be able to customize Hawks’ appearance and class, and recruit team members from a diverse range of original Star Wars character classes and species.
Team building isn’t just about aesthetics; strategic depth is key. The developers highlight the ability for team members to forge bonds, unlocking powerful combat synergies that can dramatically impact the outcome of battles. This suggests a focus on tactical squad management and synergistic abilities, adding a layer of complexity beyond simple unit control.
Development is being spearheaded by Bit Reactor, in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. This collaboration brings together experienced studios known for delivering high-quality Star Wars experiences, ensuring a polished and immersive gaming experience. The announcement of *Zero Company* completes the trio of Star Wars titles promised by Respawn in 2022, alongside *Star Wars Jedi: Survivor* and a new FPS game.
With a 2026 release date firmly in place, the wait continues, but the promise of a unique strategy game set in the Star Wars universe keeps the hype alive. Keep your lightsabers sharp and your tactical minds focused – the battle for the galaxy is coming.
