AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
A leak from reliable industry sources indicates that Star Wars Zero Company will launch on August 27, bringing tactical XCOM style combat and permadeath mechanics to the Clone Wars era.
Strategy fans looking for a tactical spin on a galaxy far, far away might not have to wait much longer. According to a recent leak from reliable industry insider Billbil-kun via Dealabs, and reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, Respawn and Bit Reactor are lining up Star Wars Zero Company for an August 27 launch. That puts the tactical title right at the tail end of the summer season, landing just before the massive fall release schedule kicks into high gear.
Helmed by XCOM veteran Greg Foertsch, Zero Company leans hard into the tactical genre. Players will take command of an unconventional squad led by a former Republic officer named Hawks during the final days of the Clone Wars. The premise trades Jedi power fantasies for grit and consequence, featuring permadeath mechanics that ensure every miscalculation on the tactical grid carries heavy weight for your roster of uneasy allies.
Pricing details also surfaced in the leak, suggesting a $49.99 price point for the standard PC version and $59.99 for the deluxe edition, with console versions carrying a slight $10 markup. Notably, the deluxe tier skips the typical early access trap that forces players to pay extra just to play on day one. As we head into Summer Game Fest, expect official confirmation and a deeper look at gameplay soon.
