Star Wars Zero Company Review
Summary
Star Wars Zero Company is a turn-based tactical strategy game developed by Bit Reactor and published by EA, Respawn, Disney, and Lucasfilm. Hailed as "Star Wars XCOM," it reportedly delivers even more than that lofty comparison. The game is set to launch on PC on August 27, 2026, priced at $50 / £40. Based on reviews from a system with a Core i5-12600K, RX 9070 XT, and 32GB RAM, the game runs smoothly but features no multiplayer and is unlikely to support Steam Deck. This single-player experience merges the rich Star Wars universe with classic XCOM-style combat, tasking players with commanding an elite squad through the Galactic Civil War. With Bit Reactor's proven expertise in strategy games and full backing from Disney and Lucasfilm, the title faithfully recreates the Star Wars atmosphere while offering deep, tactical decision-making. For fans of both strategy games and Star Wars, this is a must-watch release. It also fills a notable gap in turn-based tactical games within the Star Wars franchise, suggesting new possibilities for future IP adaptations.
