The first gameplay reveal will take place on April 19 during the Star Wars Celebration.

This diversity of characters suggests that there could be different playable classes, which is an appealing element for fans of tactical role-playing games.

Bit Reactor, the studio behind the development, was founded by former developers of the acclaimed XCOM series, which brings great expectations regarding the quality of game design and tactical mechanics. Recently, rumors emerged that Star Wars Zero Company, previously known internally as Project Bruno, may have had leaked images dating back over a year. While those rumors may provide hints about the game’s evolution, there is still no official confirmation regarding those images.

In addition to Star Wars Zero Company, the Star Wars universe is constantly expanding, with several other projects in development. Among them is the highly anticipated remake of Knights of the Old Republic by Saber Interactive and Star Wars: Eclipse, a title by Quantic Dream. It is also mentioned that Skydance New Media is working on an unannounced project, directed by the well-known Amy Hennig. This demonstrates that interest in the franchise continues to grow, thus fueling fans’ anticipation for new adventures in the galaxy far, far away.
