Star Wars: Zero Company, a Single-Player Tactics Game, Sets August Release Date and Reveals Anakin Skywalker in New Trailer

Mark your calendars: Star Wars: Zero Company, the highly anticipated turn-based tactical experience from the creative minds at Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment, is officially launching on August 27, 2026. Arriving on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the game secures a prime release window just ahead of a crowded September slate that includes highly anticipated titles like Control: Resonant and Marvel’s Wolverine.

The release date was unveiled during today’s Summer Game Fest livestream, accompanied by a riveting new trailer that provided our most comprehensive look at the game to date. Fans were also treated to the first gameplay reveal of Anakin Skywalker, adding an extra layer of excitement for Clone Wars enthusiasts. Given that the Bit Reactor team is comprised of industry veterans who defined the modern tactical genre with titles like XCOM, it is clear that Zero Company is poised to deliver a sophisticated strategy adventure set within the iconic Star Wars galaxy.

Experience the official release date trailer below:

In Star Wars: Zero Company, players step into the boots of Hawks, a former Republic officer tasked with leading a band of mercenaries and fringe-dwellers against a burgeoning galactic threat. The game offers deep customization, allowing you to tailor Hawks’ appearance and combat specialization, while curating a squad of iconic figures—from specialized Clone Troopers and astromechs to powerful Force users—all of whom can be personalized to suit your tactical needs.

Strategy extends beyond the battlefield; your narrative choices influence both the story and team dynamics. By fostering relationships between squad members, you can unlock unique combat synergies and abilities. Players will also manage a home base, deploying intelligence assets to preempt enemy movements and master the strategic landscape.

Star Wars: Zero Company hits digital and physical storefronts for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on August 27, 2026. Before the launch, be sure to catch up on the early concept screenshots from Star Wars Celebration Japan and revisit the original announcement trailer.
