Electronic Arts is releasing the turn-based strategy game Star Wars Zero Company on August 27, 2026, and is running the Power Trip event for Apex Legends Season 29 from June 2 to 23.
Electronic Arts announced two projects in mid-2026. The first is Star Wars Zero Company, a turn-based strategy game set during the decline of the Clone Wars. It launches August 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Bit Reactor developed the game in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. Players control Hawks, a former Republic army officer, leading a squad of mercenaries and specialists. The gameplay trailer showed combat with Jedi, astromech droids, and other archetypes, and ended with a character identified as Anakin Skywalker. The game includes customization options for squad members' voice, appearance, and class, and sending squad members on missions together deepens their bonds. It features planets from the Star Wars universe, including Vandor from Solo: A Star Wars Story and Mapuzo from the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The second announcement was the Power Trip event for Apex Legends Season 29 Overclock, running June 2 to 23. The limited-time mode Wildcard gains round modifiers that change rules each round, including double jump, mythical weapons, wall-running, and infinite grenades. New skins for Wraith, Octane, Lifeline, Bangalore, and Fuse are available in the event store. The two stories show Electronic Arts active in both a new single-player Star Wars title and its ongoing live-service battle royale, with no connection between the projects.

Electronic Arts announced during Summer Game Fest 2026 that the turn-based strategy game Star Wars Zero Company will release on August 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app. Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, the single-player title is set during the decline of the Clone Wars. Players control Hawks, a former Republic army officer, who leads Zero Company, a squad of mercenaries and specialists from across the galaxy, to stop a threat that could collapse the galaxy. The gameplay trailer released alongside the announcement shows combat featuring Jedi, astromech droids, and other archetypes, with abilities such as using the Force to pull enemies from cover. At the end of the trailer, a character identified as Anakin Skywalker appears. Customization options include changing squad members' voice, appearance, and class. Sending squad members on missions together deepens their bonds. The game also features planets from the Star Wars universe, including Vandor from Solo: A Star Wars Story and Mapuzo from the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
