The complete soundtrack listing for Star Wars Zero Company has appeared on Spotify, giving us 25 tracks composed by Gordy Haab and one final title that may already have players preparing conspiracy boards. The album will be released digitally on August 27, 2026, the same day as the game itself. Spotify currently lists it as an upcoming release, while the title track, “Zero Company,” has already been released as the first single. The final track is called: “Onto Our Next Mission.” Make of that what you will. Gordy Haab Returns to Star Wars Gordy Haab is hardly a newcomer to the galaxy. His previous credits include Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefront II, Star Wars: Squadrons, Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. He also composed music for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, because apparently one enormous orchestral adventure franchise was not enough paperwork. The first released track suggests that Zero Company…
Star Wars: Zero Company
Star Wars Zero Company Has Only One Jedi, and You Can Get Her Killed
Star Wars Zero Company is giving players exactly one Jedi Operator. One. Not one per squad. Not one waiting in the recruitment menu after payday. One in the entire game. And if you play with permadeath enabled and get her killed, the galaxy will not politely issue a replacement with a slightly different haircut. Tel-Rea is the only Jedi Padawan-class Operator available in Zero Company, according to lead designer James Brawley. His advice to players was wonderfully direct: be careful that nothing unfortunate happens to her. That feels less like a gameplay tip and more like something a nervous parent says before handing over the keys. Tel-Rea Cannot Simply Be Replaced Most battlefield roles in Zero Company can be filled by newly recruited Custom Operators. The game lets players hire additional squad members, adjust their equipment and specializations, and build a roster around whatever tactical disaster they are currently attempting…
Star Wars: Zero Company Will Take 30–40 Hours to Beat, and That Might Be Exactly Right
Star Wars: Zero Company will not eat your entire life. That might be a good thing. According to VICE’s report on new Zero Company details, Bit Reactor says the upcoming Clone Wars tactics game should take the average player around 30–40 hours to beat, with that number increasing a bit on higher difficulties. For a turn-based tactics game, that sounds pretty reasonable. Not tiny. Not endless. Just long enough to make bad decisions hurt. A Focused Clone Wars Campaign The 30–40 hour estimate suggests Zero Company is aiming for a focused story campaign rather than a massive tactics sandbox. That fits what we already know about the game. Star Wars: Zero Company is a single-player, turn-based tactics game set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players lead Hawks and an unusual squad through missions built around tactics, squad bonds, customization, and battlefield consequences. We have been collecting all the…
Star Wars: Zero Company Cast Revealed, and the Clone Wars Tactics Game Just Got More Interesting
Star Wars: Zero Company just became a lot more real. Lucasfilm has revealed the main cast for Bit Reactor’s upcoming Clone Wars tactics game ahead of its San Diego Comic-Con panel, and the lineup is a strong mix of Star Wars veterans, game actors, animation voices, and a few names that immediately make the squad feel less like a generic tactics roster and more like a proper ensemble. That matters. Because Zero Company is not being sold as just “move clone, shoot droid, repeat until the Separatists file a complaint.” This is a single-player, turn-based tactics game built around squad identity, character relationships, battlefield choices, and a cinematic Clone Wars story. A cast reveal is not just trivia here. It tells us who is carrying the emotional weight. For the full game breakdown, release details, squad systems, permadeath, pre-orders, and everything else we know so far, we have our complete…
Star Wars: Zero Company – Complete Guide to the Clone Wars Tactics Game
Star Wars: Zero Company is one of the most interesting Star Wars games on the way, and not just because it lets people say “Star Wars XCOM” and feel immediately understood. That shorthand works, sure. Turn-based tactics. Cover. Squad positioning. Bad decisions. The beautiful horror of watching one missed shot turn a clean plan into a smoking crater. But Zero Company is starting to look like more than a simple genre reskin. This is a single-player, turn-based tactics game set in the twilight of the Clone Wars, developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. Players step into the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading an unconventional squad of professionals for hire through a gritty original Star Wars story. In other words: Clone Wars tactics, squad drama, battlefield consequences, and enough character tension to make every mission feel like it could ruin your evening….
Star Wars Zero Company PC Launch Guide: Release Date, Platforms, Price, and Pre-Order Bonuses
Star Wars Zero Company is getting closer, and if you are planning to play on PC, this is one of those releases where it is worth checking the basics before you blindly click pre-order and pretend you are “just looking.” The game launches on August 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. EA has confirmed pre-orders are live, with the PC version available through the EA app and Steam. The standard PC edition is listed at $49.99, while the Deluxe Edition is listed at $59.99 on Steam. So yes, the Clone Wars tactics game is real, dated, and priced like EA knows strategy players can smell nonsense from orbit. What Is Star Wars Zero Company? Star Wars Zero Company is a single-player, turn-based tactics game set during the Clone Wars. It is being developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, with EA…
Star Wars Zero Company Sounds Less Like XCOM With Blasters and More Like a Squad Drama
The easiest way to describe Star Wars Zero Company is still “Star Wars XCOM.” It’s useful shorthand. Everyone gets it. Turn-based tactics, cover, squad management, bad decisions, probably at least one mission where you stare at the screen and whisper, “I’ve ruined everything.” But the more EA, Bit Reactor, and Lucasfilm Games show of Zero Company, the less that comparison feels complete. Yes, this is a tactics game built by people who know the genre inside out. Bit Reactor was founded by former Firaxis developers, and creative director Greg Foertsch and lead designer James Brawley both worked on modern XCOM projects. The bones are there. The experience is there. The danger of losing someone because you got greedy with a flank is almost certainly there too. But Zero Company is starting to sound like it wants players to care about the squad in a much more personal, messy, BioWare-ish way….
Star Wars Zero Company Pre-Order Bonuses Guide: Is the Crystalline Astromech Pack Worth It?
Star Wars Zero Company already has one of the cleaner pitches in the current Star Wars gaming lineup. Clone Wars tactics. Former XCOM talent. A squad of specialists. A focused single-player campaign. And, thankfully, a standard edition that isn’t trying to mug your wallet in a dark alley. Now that pre-orders are live, the next question is obvious: what do you actually get for buying early? The answer is pretty simple. You get cosmetic content. No bonus mission. No exclusive class. No “sorry, the best droid was locked behind a pre-order button” nonsense. That’s good. For a tactics game, harmless cosmetics are exactly where pre-order bonuses should live. What Do You Get for Pre-Ordering Star Wars Zero Company? Pre-ordering any edition of Star Wars Zero Company gets you the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack. According to EA, the pack includes the R3 droid, translucent “crystalline” astromech heads for the R4 and…
Star Wars: Zero Company’s $50 Price Tag Might Be Its Smartest Move
In a gaming market where $70 and $80 releases are becoming painfully normal, Star Wars: Zero Company arriving at $50 suddenly feels like a very clever tactical decision. Star Wars: Zero Company already had a strong pitch. Clone Wars setting. Turn-based tactics. A squad of messy specialists. Former XCOM developers. A release date locked for August 27, 2026. But one of its smartest moves might be much simpler than any battlefield mechanic. It costs $50. Star Wars: Zero Company is already available to pre-order here, and the $50 price point makes the pitch feel a lot cleaner than it might have at full blockbuster pricing. For a focused single-player tactics game, that matters. That may not sound very dramatic until you look at the wider games industry, where $70 releases are now normal and the conversation around $80 games keeps getting louder. Against that background, Zero Company’s lower price suddenly…
Star Wars: Zero Company Might Be the Clone Wars Game We Didn’t Know We Needed
Star Wars: Zero Company suddenly looks like one of the most interesting Star Wars games on the 2026 calendar. The new gameplay trailer, revealed at Summer Game Fest, shows Bit Reactor’s upcoming single-player turn-based tactics game in action ahead of its August 27, 2026 release. It is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Electronic Arts, Lucasfilm Games, and Bit Reactor finally giving players a clearer look at how this Clone Wars squad story actually plays. And honestly? This might be exactly the kind of Star Wars game the Clone Wars era needed. This Is Clone Wars, But Not the Usual Clone Wars Zero Company is set during the twilight of the Clone Wars, but it is not just another front-line battlefield story with Jedi generals, clone battalions, and heroic speeches over explosions. The official setup puts players in command of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading…
Star Wars Zero Company’s Most Interesting Detail Might Be Its Separatist Cult Villain
Star Wars Zero Company already has the easy pitch. Clone Wars. Turn-based tactics. A gritty squad of operatives. Cover, blasters, droids, Jedi, Mandalorians, permadeath, and enough tactical panic to make every bad decision feel personally expensive. But the most interesting detail might not be the squad. It might be the villain. EA describes the game’s central threat as Kundri Fathom, the enigmatic leader of a Separatist-aligned cult called the Infinite Coil. That single idea instantly makes Zero Company feel more interesting than “go fight battle droids again.” Because a Separatist cult? That is the good weird stuff. The Clone Wars Needs More Than Familiar Faces The Clone Wars era is packed with recognizable pieces. Clone troopers. Jedi generals. Battle droids. Separatist bases. Republic officers. Mandalorians. Dark schemes. Political collapse. Excellent helmets. That is all great, obviously. But a new Star Wars game cannot survive only by pointing at familiar toys…
Star Wars Zero Company’s Scariest Feature Is Not Combat. It’s Who Can Die
Star Wars Zero Company may have lightsabers, blasters, Clone Wars battlefields, tactical cover, action points, and enough squad customization to ruin your evening in the best possible way. But the scariest feature is not the combat system. It is permadeath. According to PC Gamer’s recent Zero Company breakdown, Bit Reactor’s upcoming Star Wars tactics game gives each squad member three action points per turn, while also allowing operatives to die permanently. That includes custom characters and story characters. In other words, this is not just Star Wars XCOM with clone helmets. This is Star Wars XCOM where your favorite disaster gremlin with a blaster might not make it home. Star Wars Hits Harder When Loss Matters Permadeath is a dangerous mechanic for a story-driven game. Players get attached. Players build favorites. Players name custom operatives something stupid, give them the coolest helmet, then immediately pretend they are emotionally prepared when…
Star Wars Zero Company’s Pre-Order Page Shows What EA Is Really Selling
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 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.

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…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
Star Wars Zero Company Rating Hints the Empire Is Coming Early
Star Wars Zero Company still does not have an official release date, but the tactical war drums just got noticeably louder. A new listing from Australian Classification has rated the upcoming single-player tactics game M for “mature themes and violence,” with a classification date of April 8, 2026. That alone is interesting. Age ratings often show up once a game is far enough along for platform holders and ratings boards to start doing their less glamorous, paperwork-heavy part of the job. But the real hook is buried in the description: the game’s story reportedly “spans from the Clone Wars era into the early Galactic Empire.” That is a very spicy little sentence. The Clone Wars May Not Be the Whole Story Until now, the official pitch for Star Wars Zero Company has focused on the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players take control of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading…
