What do we know about Star Wars Zero Company ?

Bit Reactor is a company founded in 2022 by former developers who worked for Firaxis Games, to whom we owe the games XCOM et Civilization. In fact, they master the genre quite well, which mixes both strategy and tactics. Considering the gameplay at work in these renowned licenses, that of Star Wars Zero Company should be solid.

The artwork provided by Electronic Arts also provides some clues. Obviously, we will be playing a team led by a mustachioed mercenary. It would consist of a Jedi Knight belonging to the Tognath species, a clone trooper, a Mandalorian, an astromech-like droid and what looks like a sniper. It is assumed that everyone will have a different but complementary specialty and skills, in order to deal with all situations. The tactical gameplay would allow you to play them in turns.

The image also gives an idea of ​​the place of Star Wars Zero Company in the timeline. We can bet that this will occur during the prelogy, a suggestion supported by the presence of a clone trooper in the group, but also by the hologram showing a battle droid – and iconic of The Phantom Menace. Will we play as an elite force responsible for carrying out perilous missions on behalf of the Republic against the Separatists? This is a plausible scenario, considering that the universe looks very dark. THE Star Wars official website in any case clearly mentions the Clone Wars.

Latest information, and this is confirmed: Star Wars Zero Company sera disponible sur PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X et PC.
