A Star Wars tactics game with ex-Firaxis talent sounds like a dream combo—hopefully it captures that XCOM magic while feeling authentically Star Wars. Can't wait to see how they blend lightsabers and turn-based strategy when the full reveal drops.

Turn-based Star Wars with Firaxis alumni at the helm Sign me up—this could finally give us the deep strategy gameplay the franchise deserves. Fingers crossed the prequel-era trio brings some fresh dynamics to the tactical formula.
