Star Wars Celebration Japan has brought the full reveal trailer for Star Wars Zero Company, which looks exactly like we hoped it would.
During the second day of this year’s Star Wars Celebration, gamers got a first look at Zero Company, the all new turn-based strategy game. It looks just like the XCOM meets Star Wars game so many (myself included) were hoping for. With full character customization, perma-death, and more, it’s not skipping out on the depth the genre is known for.
Star Wars Zero Company is a gritty and authentic original story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives. As an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, Zero Company must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds and take on an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked.
Create and customize your own squad of recruited operators and embark on tactical operations alongside a cast of newly authored Star Wars characters. Between missions, develop a base of operations and gather intelligence through a network of informants to stay one step ahead of Zero Company’s adversaries. With near-endless possibilities and high-stakes encounters that could change the fate of the galaxy, players will need intense preparation, adept strategy, and the right squad to succeed.
“At Lucasfilm Games, we’re huge tactics fans and we have wanted to make a game like this for a long time,” said Douglas Reilly, GM & VP, Lucasfilm Games. “The best tactics games are all about meaningful choices, and we’re confident we have chosen the right squad in Bit Reactor to deliver a compelling and innovative title that is authentic to Star Wars.”
In Star Wars Zero Company, players will embark on a campaign of tactical operations and investigations across the galaxy. Between missions, they will develop a base of operations and gather intelligence through a network of informants to stay one step ahead of Zero Company’s adversaries. Players will have the freedom to create and customize their own squad of recruited operators while getting to know a cast of newly authored Star Wars characters.
Hawks’ appearance and combat class can be fully customized, while recruited operatives can be personalized from a range of original Star Wars character classes and species. Tailor squadmates’ appearances, load-outs, and abilities across a wide variety of character archetypes, including Clone Troopers, astromechs and even a Jedi. While in the field, members of Zero Company will forge bonds between them to unlock powerful combat synergies that can turn the tide of battle. With near-endless possibilities and high-stakes encounters that could change the fate of the galaxy, players will need intense preparation, adept strategy, and the right squad to succeed.
Star Wars Zero Company is set to hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PCs in 2026.
