Star Wars Zero Company is no longer just “that Clone Wars tactics game we keep comparing to XCOM until someone throws a thermal detonator at us.” EA has now opened the pre-order push properly, and the official landing page makes the pitch very clear: this is a turn-based Star Wars tactics game built around operatives, customization, squad bonds, and enough Clone Wars-era cosmetic bait to make collectors start sweating politely. The game is currently set to launch on August 27, 2026, across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. And yes, if you already know you are going in, you can pre-order Star Wars Zero Company on Amazon. Will that make your tactical decisions better? Absolutely not. Will it make the waiting feel slightly more official? Probably. What Comes With Zero Company Pre-Orders? According to EA’s official Zero Company page, pre-ordering any edition unlocks the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack. That is the pre-order-only…

Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s Collector’s Edition Knows Exactly Which Fans It Wants to Hurt
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is already doing something dangerous. It is not just bringing back the old Star Wars racing fantasy. It is also going directly after the shelf space, wallets, and nostalgia centers of fans who still hear “Now this is podracing” somewhere deep in the brain. The game is set to launch on October 6, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s Editions available. Pre-order bonuses include an extra livery for your repulsorcraft and a special player banner for multiplayer modes. That is the normal stuff. The Collector’s Edition is where the wallet starts hearing boss music. What Comes in the Galactic Racer Collector’s Edition? The Star Wars: Galactic Racer Collector’s Edition is aimed squarely at the kind of fan who looks at a racing game and thinks, “Yes, but what if it also came with things I can put on…
Star Wars Zero Company Has No Romance, and That Might Be the Right Call
Star Wars Zero Company has companions, squad bonds, story characters, base interactions, permadeath, and enough tactical pressure to make every bad decision feel like it should come with paperwork. What it apparently does not have is romance. According to PC Gamer’s latest overview of the game, Zero Company includes BioWare-style companion energy, approval-style relationships, and squad interaction, but no player romance arcs. For some RPG fans, that may sound like a missed opportunity. For this particular Star Wars game, it might actually be smart. Zero Company Is About Bonds, Not Dating The important distinction here is that Zero Company is not ignoring relationships. Quite the opposite. The game seems heavily built around them. Players lead a squad of original and customizable characters through covert Clone Wars missions, building trust, bonds, and tactical synergy along the way. EA has also described the team as an unlikely ensemble of allies who must…
Star Wars Zero Company Giveaway Offers Custom Xbox Controllers and Deluxe Edition Codes
Star Wars Zero Company is already giving tactics fans plenty to think about: squad bonds, Clone Wars-era missions, custom operators, base management, and the very real possibility of ruining a perfect plan in the first two turns. Now there is something much simpler on the table. Free stuff. A new Custom Controller Giveaway is live, giving fans a chance to win one of five custom-designed Xbox Series X wireless controllers and a Deluxe Edition game code for Star Wars Zero Company at launch. Five runners-up will also receive a Deluxe Edition game code. Not bad for entering a sweepstakes and hoping the Force has finally stopped ignoring your inbox. What Can You Win? According to the official sweepstakes rules, five grand prize winners will each receive: One custom-designed Xbox Series X wireless controller One digital copy of Star Wars Zero Company Deluxe Edition The Deluxe Edition code is redeemable on…
Galaxy of Heroes Extra Life Stream Shows the Holotable Can Still Do Good
Most Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes updates are about shards, kits, omicrons, datacrons, and the sacred art of wondering why your opponent somehow took twelve turns before you blinked. But the next SWGOH event is about something a little bigger than the holotable. Capital Games is teaming up with Extra Life for another charity stream, helping raise money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network. According to EA’s official announcement, the campaign has already raised $87,875 so far, with the next stream scheduled for June 11, 2026, from 2-4 PM PT. That is a pretty solid reminder that this community can do more than argue about turn order. Although, realistically, it will still do that too. Galaxy of Heroes Is Changing Its Extra Life Format The biggest change this year is the format. Instead of one giant marathon event, Capital Games says the 2026 Extra Life effort is…
Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-10-2026 Makes Cinta Kaz Farmable and Fixes a Lot of Weird Kit Issues
The latest Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update is not the kind of patch that arrives with fireworks, a new Galactic Legend, and half the holotable screaming. But it does have something players always care about: a new farm, an accelerated character, and a surprisingly long list of fixes for abilities that were not behaving the way their descriptions promised. According to EA’s official Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-10-2026, the two headline items are simple: Depa Billaba is now accelerated, and Cinta Kaz shards are now farmable from Dark Side Battles 6-F Hard. For collectors and roster planners, that is the part that matters immediately. Cinta Kaz Is Now Farmable Cinta Kaz moving to Dark Side Battles 6-F Hard gives players a clear farming path instead of waiting around like a moisture farmer watching clouds do absolutely nothing. That is especially useful for players building around newer faction pieces and…
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Just Got a Very Important Story Boost
For a game calling itself a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic, story is not a side dish. It is the meal. That is why the latest Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic news matters. Arcanaut Studios has reportedly added Tony Elias as narrative director, while sci-fi author Jenny “J.S.” Dewes has joined the writing team. On paper, that sounds like normal development staffing. In reality, for a new Old Republic RPG led by Casey Hudson, it is exactly the kind of update fans should be watching closely. Because if this game gets anything wrong, it cannot be the writing. Tony Elias Joins as Narrative Director According to FRVR, Tony Elias has joined Arcanaut Studios as narrative director on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. His past work includes the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Remedy’s Quantum Break, and the cancelled Wonder Woman…
Star Wars Zero Company’s Best Idea Is Making Your Squad Actually Matter
The easiest way to describe Star Wars Zero Company is still “a Star Wars tactics game.” That is also the least interesting way to talk about it. Yes, Bit Reactor’s upcoming turn-based tactics game has cover, classes, tactical decisions, squad builds, and all the lovely battlefield panic that comes with telling four people to survive a Clone Wars mission with a plan that sounded much better in your head. But a new Xbox Wire interview with Creative Director Greg Foertsch and Lead Designer James Brawley suggests the game’s most important idea may not be the tactics. It may be the relationships. Zero Company Is Leaning Into Found Family Foertsch says Star Wars is at its best when it is about relationships and found families, pointing to Star Wars Rebels as one example. That is not just a cute quote for the trailer crowd. It appears to be a real design…
Is Star Wars Zero Company’s Deep-Cut Lore a Strength or a Risk?
Star Wars fans love deep lore. Until they don’t. That is the tightrope Star Wars Zero Company now has to walk. The upcoming Clone Wars tactics game already has the big sellable hooks: turn-based squad combat, permadeath, RPG-style companions, an August release date, and enough tactical panic to make every mission feel like a bad idea with a briefing screen. But the most interesting thing might be the nerdiest thing. The developers clearly care about the deep cuts. According to GamesRadar’s look at Zero Company’s lore work, the team has spent serious time digging into Star Wars history, planets, factions, and character connections to make the game feel properly rooted in the Clone Wars era. That sounds great. But it also raises a real question: Can deep lore make Zero Company feel richer, or could it scare off players who just want a good tactics game? Lore Can Make the…
This Supermarket Together Mod Turns LEGO Star Wars Into Shelf Stock
Most Star Wars mods understand the obvious fantasy. Lightsabers. Blasters. Clones. Sith. Space battles. Darth Vader arriving to ruin everyone’s workday. This one understands a far stranger truth: Someone has to stock the shelves. A new Supermarket Together mod called Lego Star Wars 2014 – Custom Products adds 16 LEGO Star Wars sets from 2014 into the co-op supermarket management game. Created by AriZume, the mod turns classic LEGO Star Wars boxes into actual store products players can sell, price, arrange, and presumably panic about when customers start treating an Imperial Star Destroyer like an impulse purchase. That is not the usual Star Wars gaming fantasy. It might be funnier. LEGO Star Wars, but Make It Retail The mod includes a very specific wave of 2014 LEGO Star Wars products, ranging from smaller battle packs to bigger vehicles and ships. Among the included sets are Death Star Troopers, Kashyyyk Troopers,…
Is Galactic Racer Finally Giving Star Wars Racing Its Own Identity?
Star Wars racing has always had one problem. It already peaked in people’s memories. For a lot of players, the conversation begins and ends with Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Fast podracers, dangerous tracks, alien engines screaming, and Sebulba being the galaxy’s most punchable motorsport villain. It turned one sequence from The Phantom Menace into one of the most beloved Star Wars games of its era. So the big question for Star Wars: Galactic Racer is not just whether it can be fun. It is whether it can escape the ghost of podracing. Star Wars Racing Needs More Than Nostalgia The new Galactic Racer story trailer suggests the developers know the trap. Sebulba is back, and of course he is. You do not make a new Star Wars racing game and ignore the Dug-shaped menace sitting in the corner. He is the nostalgia hook. The instant recognition. The “oh, I…
Star Wars Zero Company Sounds Like More Than Just Star Wars XCOM
Calling Star Wars Zero Company “Star Wars XCOM” is useful. It is also starting to look a little too small. Yes, the upcoming Clone Wars-era tactics game clearly has the familiar ingredients: squad positioning, cover, abilities, mission planning, battlefield panic, and the terrible feeling that one bad move is about to ruin your entire evening. But the more we see of Zero Company, the more it looks like Bit Reactor and Respawn are aiming for something bigger than just “XCOM, but with clone helmets.” According to PC Gamer’s hands-on preview, the game also brings in RPG elements, squad conversations, loyalty missions, cinematic exploration, and character-driven stakes that make it feel closer to Mass Effect with turn-based combat and permadeath. That is a much more interesting pitch. The Squad Might Matter as Much as the Mission The key difference seems to be the people. Zero Company puts players in the boots…
PowerWash Simulator 2’s Star Wars Pack Finally Has a Release Date
The galaxy is filthy, and apparently the Rebellion is outsourcing. The PowerWash Simulator 2 Star Wars Pack now has a release date: July 16, 2026. The paid DLC will bring Star Wars grime, ships, locations, and deeply suspicious amounts of galactic dirt to FuturLab’s very satisfying cleaning simulator. The official Steam page for PowerWash Simulator 2: STAR WARS Pack lists the July 16 release date and confirms that the DLC requires the base game. So yes, this is real. Someone looked at Star Wars, a franchise famous for sand, grease, busted machinery, rebel hangars, Imperial metal, carbon scoring, and questionable maintenance standards, and correctly decided: this galaxy needs a pressure washer. Rebellions Are Built on Soap The Star Wars Pack is set during the events of the Original Trilogy and puts players in the role of P0-W2, a Class Five cleaning droid. According to FuturLab’s PowerWash Simulator 2 page, P0-W2…
EA Star Wars Launches Official Discord, but Battlefront Fans Notice One Big Absence
EA Star Wars has launched an official Discord server, giving players a new central place to follow and discuss the publisher’s current Star Wars games. The server, promoted through EA Star Wars’ official social channels, includes spaces for Star Wars Jedi, Star Wars Zero Company, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. That lineup makes sense. It also leaves one very loud absence. Where is Star Wars Battlefront? The Missing Battlefront Channel Is the Story At launch, the official EA Star Wars Discord appears focused on the active and currently supported corners of EA’s Star Wars lineup. Zero Company is the obvious new push, Galaxy of Heroes keeps rolling, The Old Republic is still alive after all these years, and the Jedi series remains one of EA’s biggest modern Star Wars success stories. But Battlefront is different. Official support for Battlefront II ended years ago, yet…
Amy Hennig’s Star Wars Game Is Still Alive Under Paramount Games Studio
Amy Hennig’s mysterious Star Wars game is still alive. That alone is enough to make long-suffering Star Wars gaming fans sit up slightly straighter. The project was first announced back in 2022 as a collaboration between Skydance New Media and Lucasfilm Games, with Hennig attached to develop a narrative-driven action-adventure game set in the Star Wars galaxy. Since then, actual details have been painfully scarce. Now there is finally a status update, even if it is not the trailer-drop many fans were hoping for. Paramount Skydance is launching Paramount Games Studio, a new unified games division that brings Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media together under one banner. As part of that move, Amy Hennig will serve as Creative Director of the new studio. More importantly for Star Wars fans, current reporting says Hennig’s Star Wars project is still in development. The Ghost of Ragtag Still Haunts the Conversation There…
Star Wars Zero Company Pre-Orders Are Live, and the PC Specs Are Surprisingly Clear
Star Wars Zero Company is no longer just showing gameplay and waving from the future. It is now up for pre-order, the editions are detailed, and PC players finally have some specs to stare at while pretending they were definitely not going to upgrade anyway. EA’s official Star Wars Zero Company pre-order article confirms that pre-orders are live across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox ahead of the game’s August 27 release. The good news? This does not look like another “please sell your landspeeder” pricing situation. Standard and Deluxe Editions Explained Pre-ordering either edition gives players the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack, which includes the R3 droid, crystalline astromech heads for R4 and R5 variants, and the new BR-1 droid debuting in Zero Company. The Standard Edition keeps things simple: base game plus the pre-order bonus. The Deluxe Edition adds several cosmetic packs inspired by the Clone Wars era. That includes the…
Star Wars: Galactic Racer Story Trailer Brings Sebulba Back to the Track
Star Wars: Galactic Racer just got a new story trailer, and yes, the racing chaos is starting to look very real now. The latest Star Wars: Galactic Racer story trailer puts the spotlight on the game’s big rivalry inside the Galactic League, an Outer Rim racing circuit where speed, power, and corruption seem to be sharing the same cockpit. At the center of it all is Kestar Bool, the league champion using his status to intimidate rival pilots and tighten his grip on the competition. Standing against him is Shade, an up-and-coming racer with a personal grudge against the Bool family. So yes, this is not just “drive fast, explode beautifully.” There is actual racing drama now. Sebulba Still Knows How to Steal the Room The big nostalgic hook, of course, is Sebulba. The legendary podracer remains one of the most instantly recognizable racing figures in Star Wars, mostly because…
Star Wars Zero Company Finally Shows Gameplay and Confirms August Release
Star Wars Zero Company is no longer just a promising idea hiding behind tactical buzzwords. It has gameplay now. It has a date. And it suddenly feels much more real. The new Star Wars Zero Company gameplay trailer confirms that the Clone Wars-era tactics game will launch on August 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. That also means the earlier release-date leak was right. The squad is assembling this summer. Clone Wars Tactics Finally Takes the Spotlight Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, Zero Company is a single-player turn-based tactics game set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players take control of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading Zero Company, an unconventional squad thrown into classified missions against a new dark side threat. The trailer gives the game a much clearer identity: squad positioning, battlefield choices, blaster fire, character…
Two Years Ago Today, Star Wars: Hunters Entered the Arena
Two years ago today, Star Wars: Hunters finally stepped into the arena. On June 4, 2024, Zynga and Lucasfilm Games launched the free-to-play 4v4 competitive battle game on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. The official Star Wars: Hunters launch announcement invited players into the Grand Arena on Vespaara, where original characters fought for fame, glory, and probably a worrying amount of in-universe sponsorship money. It was a simple pitch with a very Star Wars twist: team-based arena combat, but with Wookiees, bounty hunters, stormtroopers, droids, dark side weirdos, and enough character gimmicks to make the whole thing feel like a Saturday morning Holonet broadcast with blasters. A Star Wars Game With Its Own Toy Box What made Hunters interesting was that it did not try to retell a movie. It did not ask players to be Luke, Vader, Rey, or Mando. Instead, it built a new cast around Star Wars…
Star Wars Zero Company Release Date May Have Leaked Before Summer Game Fest
Star Wars Zero Company may have just become a lot more real. The upcoming Clone Wars-era tactics game is already set to appear at Summer Game Fest with a new gameplay trailer, but now a possible release date may have leaked ahead of the showcase. According to VGC’s report on the leaked Star Wars Zero Company release date, Dealabs insider billbil-kun claims the game is currently planned for August 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Important disclaimer before anyone starts polishing clone armor: EA has not officially confirmed that date. The official Star Wars Zero Company page still lists the game as “Coming 2026.” The Timing Is Very Convenient The timing is what makes this interesting. EA has already confirmed that a new Star Wars Zero Company gameplay trailer will be shown during Summer Game Fest on June 5. We covered that announcement in our earlier…
Star Wars Zero Company Gameplay Trailer Coming at Summer Game Fest
Star Wars gamers finally have a reason to watch Summer Game Fest with something stronger than blind hope. EA Star Wars has confirmed that a new gameplay trailer for Star Wars Zero Company will debut during Summer Game Fest on June 5 at 2pm PT. That means the upcoming tactical Star Wars game is stepping back into the spotlight, and this time the magic word is gameplay. Not a logo. Not a cinematic mood piece. Gameplay. That matters. The Clone Wars Tactics Game Gets Its Big Showcase Moment Star Wars Zero Company is the upcoming single-player turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor, developed in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. EA’s official Star Wars Zero Company page describes the game as a gritty story set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players take on the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading Zero Company, an unconventional squad…
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Delayed to June 30
The galaxy’s most dangerous property dispute has been pushed back a little. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains will now release on June 30, 2026, moving from its previously planned June 11 date. Ubisoft’s official Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains page now lists the new release date, while Gematsu has also reported the delay from June 11 to June 30. So no, this is not Battlefront 3. It is not Star Wars Jedi 3. It is not Eclipse finally crawling out of the unknown regions. It is Monopoly with lightsabers, team powers, and galactic real estate violence. And honestly, that is still news. Heroes, Villains, and Board Game Betrayal Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is Ubisoft and Behaviour Interactive’s digital Star Wars twist on the classic board game. Instead of simply moving a tiny metal shoe around a board and slowly destroying family relationships, players choose heroes or…
Star Wars Jedi 3 Rumour Says Cal Kestis Will Be Older
Cal Kestis may be about to age into his most interesting chapter yet. A new rumour around the next Star Wars Jedi game suggests that Respawn’s third entry will feature an older Cal Kestis and another time jump after Jedi: Survivor. The claim comes from Tom Henderson on the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, with GamingBolt reporting on the rumour. For now, this is not official. EA and Respawn have not revealed the game, its title, or its timeline. But as rumours go, this one makes a lot of sense. Cal’s Story Has Always Used Time Jumps The Star Wars Jedi series has already used time jumps as a storytelling tool. Jedi: Fallen Order introduced Cal as a young survivor of Order 66, hiding on Bracca and trying very hard not to be noticed by the Empire. Jedi: Survivor then picked up five years later, showing a more worn-down, more experienced…
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways Brings Back Attack of the Clones Event
“Begun, the Clone War has.” Yes, Master Yoda is back on event-duty in LEGO Star Wars: Castaways, where the Attack of the Clones event has returned to The Island for another limited-time run. The official LEGO Star Wars: Castaways account confirmed that players can complete missions to progress through the event and earn character parts and microfighters inspired by Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones. That means more prequel-era LEGO chaos, more unlocks, and another reason to return to one of the stranger little corners of modern Star Wars gaming. The Clone War Returns to The Island LEGO Star Wars: Castaways has always been a slightly odd but charming experiment: part social hub, part action-adventure, part LEGO Star Wars toy box. Instead of simply retelling the films, it lets players build their own minifigure, explore The Island, meet other players, race microfighters, and jump into simulations inspired by…
