During Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor revealed the first trailer of Star Wars Zero Company. Occurring at the “twilight” of the Clone Wars, the single-player turn-based tactics title focuses on former Republic officer Hawks and the titular Zero Company.
The unit comprises an “unconventional outfit of professionals for hire” participating in an operation against an “emerging threat.” Despite their rampant professionalism, the group has some friction, which Hawks must manage. It’s an original story but some tie-ins to other properties wouldn’t be surprising.
Brief snatches of pre-alpha gameplay are showcased at the trailer’s tail-end, and, perhaps to the surprise of no one due to leaks, it’s an XCOM-like title with characters taking cover. Abilities include scanning for targets, Force pushing a droid away, sniping them from afar, and throwing grenades from elevated positions. There’s even a funny bit, intentional or not, of the Clone Trooper having a less-than-accurate aim.
Star Wars Zero Company launches in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Further details have yet to be revealed, so stay tuned for more updates from the Developer Panel.
