Abstract

The article focuses on *Star Wars Zero Company*, an upcoming tactical turn-based game developed by Bit Reactor, a studio founded by former XCOM developers. The game combines high-quality tactical combat reminiscent of XCOM with third-person action-adventure exploration, set in the Star Wars Clone Wars era with close collaboration from Lucasfilm to ensure authenticity. Players control a customizable protagonist named Hawks and lead a squad through complex missions featuring permadeath mechanics, squad bonding, and strategic operations beyond combat. The narrative draws inspiration from the Clone Wars animated series and recent Star Wars media, emphasizing character relationships and moral choices. *Zero Company* is slated for release in 2026 and aims to blend deep strategy with rich storytelling and production values.
