La Derecha Diario Star Wars Zero Company, the new tactical video game from Respawn and Bit Reactor
The game could be set in the prequel era and is a bet on a genre somewhat forgotten by fans
The Star Wars community and turn-based strategy game fans have a reason to get excited: Star Wars Zero Company, the new project that will be officially presented during the Star Wars Celebration in Japan.
This title promises to combine the best of Respawn Entertainment's immersive storytelling with Bit Reactor's tactical gameplay, a studio formed by veterans of Firaxis Games.
An author-stamped tactical experience
Bit Reactor, founded in 2021 by former developers of the XCOM saga, aims to revive the turn-based strategy genre with a fresh and ambitious proposal. With Star Wars Zero Company, they seek to capture the essence of complex and challenging tactical combat within the narrative universe of Star Wars.
"We aim for deep gameplay and a narrative that expands the Star Wars universe from a strategic perspective," they stated from the studio.
Meanwhile, Respawn Entertainment brings its narrative talent and innovative approach to mechanics design, already proven with titles like Jedi: Fallen Order, Titanfall, and Apex Legends. The alliance with Lucasfilm Games ensures that the content is authentic and faithful to the saga's chronology.
What to expect from the reveal at the Star Wars Celebration
So far, details of Star Wars Zero Company have been scarce. However, during the special panel "Bit Reactor Developer Panel," scheduled for next weekend at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, the first official revelations are expected.
- Introduction of main characters
- First look at the settings
- Explanation of game mechanics
- Narrative context within the Star Wars canon
According to speculations, the game could be set in the prequel era, as preliminary images showed battle droids and clone troopers, suggesting a setting during the Clone Wars.
A new era for Star Wars tactical games?
With Electronic Arts as the publisher and the backing of Lucasfilm Games, Star Wars Zero Company is shaping up to be one of the strongest bets to revitalize the strategy segment within the franchise. It will be a key test for Bit Reactor, which seeks to establish itself as a genre reference, and an opportunity for Respawn to further expand its influence in the Star Wars universe.
