The Force Calls: Star Wars Zero Company Now Available

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- Electronic Arts Inc (EA) and Bit Reactor, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, have launched Star Wars Zero Company, a single-player, turn-based tactics game set during the twilight of the Clone Wars, for personal computer (PC) and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.

The game follows former Republic officer Hawks and Zero Company, an elite squad of unconventional professionals recruited by Republic Intelligence to stop the Infinite Coil, a Separatist-aligned cult, and its leader Kundri Fathom before the Shadow Plague consumes the galaxy, according to a statement.

Players can customise Hawks’ combat specialisation and appearance, build a squad of original and customisable Star Wars characters, and develop relationships between squadmates to unlock combat synergies. The game combines tactical missions and investigations with strategic planning at the squad’s base of operations, The Den.

“After all these years of hard work from our amazing team, Star Wars Zero Company is a go for launch,” said Bit Reactor Chief Executive Officer and Game Director, Greg Foertsch.

Meanwhile, Lucasfilm Games Vice President and General Manager, Douglas Reilly said the collaboration with EA and Bit Reactor delivers a deep tactical experience set in the darker corners of the Clone Wars.

Star Wars Zero Company is available through the EA app, Steam and Epic Games Store for PC, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. The Digital Deluxe Edition is priced at US$59.99 on PC and US$69.99 on consoles, while a Collector’s Edition is available for US$299.99. (US$1=RM4.02)

The game's soundtrack, featuring an original score by GRAMMY Award-winning composer Gordy Haab, is also available through Walt Disney Records.
