Star Wars Zero Company is confirmed to be in development for PC as well as consoles via the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. No word on a rendition for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hybrid console has been announced, nor a release date, but that could change in the future.
With the team behind the iconic Star Wars Jedi games on this project, fans certainly expected a new next-gen series entry. After all, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, were some of the best games of their respective launch years. So, Respawn Entertainment fans looked forward to a new interplanetary journey for protagonist Cal Kestis as he parkours across hazards and fights tough enemies. As such, this new change in direction will undoubtedly be a surprise and perhaps even disappointing for some players.
Respawn Entertainment is known for its bombastic action titles, like Titanfall 1 and 2, the Apex Legends multiplayer spin-off, and the aforementioned Star Wars games. In other words, this is the first time the team will be releasing a turn-based game. However, it is being created in collaboration with the studio Bit Reactor, so it remains to be seen how the final product turns out.
