The upcoming game called Star Wars Zero Company, which seeks to expand the Star Wars universe with more gameplay options, has just received more information, including a new gameplay trailer, story details, and its anticipated release date. The announcement of Star Wars Zero Company happened in April 2025, and a few days after that, it received its first trailer and formal reveal as part of the Star Wars Celebration event in Japan.
Unlike most action-based games set in the franchise, Zero Company is a tactical turn-based adventure, similar to titles like XCOM, for example. There are high hopes for Star Wars Zero Company to make up for some of the lost potential in Star Wars Outlaws, released in 2024, even if the open-world action-adventure game centered around Kay Vess was well-received by critics – but not so much by players. Now, we know that it won’t take too much longer to see what the new game will have to offer once it drops.
Star Wars Zero Company – Release Date
During the SGF 2026 Opening Night Live presentation, publisher Electronic Arts revealed new details about the game, including its release date. While there had been some rumors and leaks, it has now been confirmed that Star Wars Zero Company will be released globally on August 27. The single-player turn-based tactics game will be made available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles, as well as PC.
Given the release date’s proximity and its center stage at Summer Game Fest 2026, it seems like developer Bit Reactor is quite advanced in terms of development, so it’s fairly unlikely that the game will be pushed back in any way following this announcement. In fact, players who are interested in it can already pre-order Star Wars Zero Company for their preferred platforms.

Star Wars Zero Company – Gameplay Details
As was previously mentioned, Star Wars Zero Company is a single-player turn-based tactics game. The title features heavy strategic gameplay, which is said to feel “fresh for the franchise,” according to Lucasfilm Games VP and GM Douglas Reilly, in a press release. The game features authored and player-created characters to use on the battlefield, and you’ll be able to unlock new abilities and train your characters to improve not only their skills but also their stats.
According to the official information, the game’s “ever-changing” map features over 150 planets to explore, and players’ choices during the campaign will change how the journey itself unfolds. Players will be able to recruit and create characters from eight different iconic species: Devaronian, Human, Neimoidian, Ovissian, Togruta, Twi’lek, Weequay and Zabrak. On top of that, Star Wars Zero Company features a big customization hub allowing you to not only tweak talents but also each Operator’s appearance – as was hinted by the pre-order and Deluxe Edition bonuses.
Star Wars Zero Company – Story Details
The story you’ll be following is set during the Clone Wars in the timeline of Star Wars.

The main goal of this narrative is to hunt down Kundri Fathom—the leader of a Separatist-aligned cult known as Infinite Coil. This title promises to explore unique character perspectives during this conflict within an unseen angle of Clone Wars history.
