Star Wars Zero Company Pre-Loads Are Live, Global Release Timings Revealed
XCOM and Star Wars fans can look forward to the turn-based tactics title launching at 8 AM PDT on August 27th for consoles and PC.
Star Wars Zero Company
Released Aug 27, 2026
Star Wars Zero Company is a turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor set during the Clone Wars era, casting you as Captain Hawks leading a squad of unconventional operatives through missions across more than 150 planets. The game features a linear 30-40 hour campaign with no branching narrative paths or New Game Plus mode, alongside a permakillable Jedi Padawan named Tel-Rea whose fate rests on player decisions.
Recent coverage has focused on the game's design philosophy and content offerings. Bit Reactor has clarified that the campaign follows a fixed story from start to finish with no romance options, while the developer has opted against official mod support despite respecting the modding community. The game emphasizes clone customization, though some cosmetics are restricted to the Deluxe Edition. The voice cast includes returning Star Wars talent like Matt Lanter reprising Anakin, alongside performers from properties including Hades II and Resident Evil, lending cinematic production values to the single-player experience.
