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.
