Game File reports that Star Wars Zero Company, the turn-based strategy game published by Electronic Arts and developed by Bit Reactor, may have started as a tactical game using the Apex Legends IP. The report draws on court documents from an ongoing lawsuit at Bit Reactor between co-founder Greg Foertsch and fellow co-founder and former COO Alison Kelly. According to documents submitted by Foertsch's side, the predecessor team had been working on a turn-based tactical concept since around 2019. In January 2020, they pitched it to Respawn Entertainment executives. That spring, 'VZ', believed to be the late Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella, asked them to propose a concept using a company-designated IP. Foertsch created materials and presented to Respawn personnel. The court documents reference a concept related to Apex Legends, which Game File suggests may have been the original tactical game. IGN has described it as set in the Titanfall world, but details remain unclear. After the original concept was not realized, Zampella encouraged a different subject, leading to Star Wars. EA wanted a corporate contract, and Bit Reactor was founded in 2021. The game released on August 28, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Metacritic score of 85 and a user score of 7.8.

The steering controller is a variation of the existing Racing Wheel Apex, with a formula-style steering unit designed for racing cars.

A dedicated app enables customization of steering and pedal settings, including button mapping, maximum steering angle, dead zone, and linearity. The price is 21,980 yen including tax. The steering unit measures about 29 cm in diameter, has a rotation angle of about 270 degrees, and weighs about 1.4 kg. The product supports XInput games on Windows 11 and connects via USB Type-A. It lacks adaptive triggers, motion sensors, vibration, touchpad, microphone, speaker, light bar, and headphone jack, so games relying on those features may not play comfortably.
Electronic Arts will launch Season 30 of Apex Legends, titled Marked, on August 5, 2026, at 2:00 AM JST. The season centers on a major rework of the original Legend Bloodhound, whose new ultimate ability Allfather's Cloak cloaks nearby teammates, granting movement speed and threat vision until they fire or take damage. Bloodhound's passive now leaves glowing trails from enemy movement, and the tactical scan extends with periodic snapshot scans. The World's Edge map receives a night-time overhaul with new points of interest including East Village, War Camp, and Tree Settlement, while the nostalgic Sorting Factory and Construction Site return. The loot system is simplified: Extended Supply Bins, Weapon Supply Bins, and wildlife loot are removed. New Corrupted Attachments offer late-game power at a cost. Loba and Rampart also receive buffs: Loba's Black Market cooldown is reduced and her tactical ability moves faster and farther; Rampart gains movement speed while firing Sheila and improved Amped Cover durability. The Marked Battle Pass includes Legendary skins for Bloodhound and Caustic, and a Mythic CAR skin called Allfather's Wrath.
