Star Wars Zero Company: new story details and developments

Star Wars Zero Company, an upcoming turn-based tactics game, has recently revealed new story details. The game is set during the Clone Wars and extends into the early days of the Galactic Empire. This information has been confirmed through an official age rating, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect.

Decision-making and reveal

The game was first teased by EA in January 2022. It wasn’t until April 2025, during Star Wars Celebration, that Star Wars Zero Company was officially revealed. This unveiling marks an important step in the game’s development, which is being made by Bit Reactor, a new studio founded in 2022 by former key members of Firaxis, known for the popular XCOM series.

The player’s role

In Star Wars Zero Company, players take on the role of Hawks, a customizable ex-Republic Officer. Hawks is tasked with leading a group of misfits through a series of covert operations. The choice of protagonist adds an interesting dynamic, as players are expected to experience the story from different perspectives.

Age ratings and gameplay clues

Over the past few weeks, official age ratings for Star Wars Zero Company have been issued in several countries. The Australian rating, which gave the game an "M" classification, noted themes of violence and a "mild impact" on language. Brazil also assigned a 14+ rating, while South Korea gave it a 15+ rating. These ratings not only offer a glimpse of the experience, but may also hint at gameplay elements and how the story is developing.

The most notable aspect of the age ratings is the confirmation that the game is not only focused on the Clone Wars, but also highlights the transition into the early days of the Galactic Empire. This could mean players will deal with old alliances now operating under the Emperor’s rule.

Future announcements

Although no concrete release date has been set for Star Wars Zero Company, expectations remain high that it may not be far off. The recent age ratings suggest development is progressing, and an announcement could follow soon. That could happen during Summer Game Fest, which begins on June 5. Bit Reactor even shared on social media that they’ll "see you soon," fueling speculation about an upcoming release or more information.

Star Wars Zero Company is being developed by Bit Reactor and published by EA, and it’s a title worth keeping an eye on as the fanbase grows and the hype builds.
