Star Wars Zero Company Turn-Based Tactics Game Reportedly Launches August 2026

Leaked reporting says Star Wars Zero Company, an XCOM-veteran-developed turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor with Respawn and Lucasfilm, is slated to launch on August 27, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, positioning it just ahead of a crowded September release lineup. The leaks also indicate pricing that undercuts many recent AAA releases, with a $49.99 Standard Edition and a $59.99 Deluxe Edition on PC, while console versions are reportedly priced at $59.99 and $69.99 respectively. The Standard Edition is expected to be available in both physical and digital formats, while the Deluxe Edition would be digital-only, and both reports agree there will be no early access included. Players are also expected to get their first substantial gameplay look during the Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase, where more details are promised. In terms of content, the game is set in the twilight of the Clone Wars and follows Hawks as he leads Zero Company, an elite mercenary outfit tasked with confronting an emerging threat. While these details come from non-official sources, they align across multiple outlets based on the same alleged insider leak.
A prior trailer reportedly shows multiple faction/character elements beyond the mercenary squad concept—specifically “at least one lightsaber-wielding individual” and “a Mandalorian,” according to the leak coverage.
Bit Reactor CEO and creative director Greg Foertsch previously described the game’s design goal as delivering “an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era” with “meaningful outcomes from player choices,” plus “deep turn-based tactical combat,” emphasizing strategy-focused battles “beneath the war” (surveillance, ciphers, and sabotage).
One leak report adds that “pre-orders could open shortly after Summer Game Fest,” though no official pre-order date was confirmed.
The reporting also indicates players who buy the Standard Edition would reportedly have an option to upgrade to the Deluxe Edition separately (even though the Deluxe Edition itself is said to be digital-only).
