Star Wars: Zero Company is a Tactics Player's Dream

When I first heard of Star Wars Zero Comapny, and seeing the key art, I was immediately interested. Specifically why would a Jedi be handing around a Clone Trooper and Mandalorian? And then once learning about the type of game, as well as the pedigree of the developer, this is one to keep on your radar for fans of Star Wars and Tactics games alike.

In Star Wars Zero Company, players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. As an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, Zero Company must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds and take on an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked.

In Star Wars Zero Company, players will embark on a campaign of tactical operations and investigations across the galaxy. Between missions, they will develop a base of operations and gather intelligence through a network of informants to stay one step ahead of Zero Company’s adversaries. Players will have the freedom to create and customize their own squad of recruited operators while getting to know a cast of newly authored Star Wars characters.

Hawks’ appearance and combat class can be fully customized, while recruited operatives can be personalized from a range of original Star Wars character classes and species. Tailor squadmates’ appearances, load-outs, and abilities across a wide variety of character archetypes, including Clone Troopers, astromechs and even a Jedi. While in the field, members of Zero Company will forge bonds between them to unlock powerful combat synergies that can turn the tide of battle. With near-endless possibilities and high-stakes encounters that could change the fate of the galaxy, players will need intense preparation, adept strategy, and the right squad to succeed.

With developers from the studios which brought the world X-Com, as well as The Cal Kestis Star Wars: Jedi series from Respawn, not only will this game likely have a strong story to get invested in, but be rooted deep in the Star Wars lore that we know and love in an impactful way.

Star Wars Zero Company will be released in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
