Bit Reactor, a burgeoning game studio founded by a former XCOM developer, is developing a new tactical game titled Star Wars Zero Company. This turn-based, single-player tactics game lures players in with mechanics familiar to fans of the XCOM series. It sports all the basic trappings you expect, such as a “hit chance” stat and cover and overwatch mechanics.
Star Wars Zero Company, previously known as Star Wars Bruno, thrusts players deep into the iconic Star Wars universe. Plus, it provides a fun outlet for kids’ competitive drive with thoughtful, tactical gameplay. The game features a “hit chance” stat prominently displayed above enemies, allowing players to gauge their likelihood of successfully landing an attack. This new element adds a layer of strategy to any combat encounter and makes designing tactical encounters even more fun.
The development team at Bit Reactor consists of over a dozen individuals with experience from Firaxis Games, the studio behind the successful XCOM franchise. Combining their creative minds and expertise, they’re able to create a super intriguing tactical experience. It appears to be ringing in a big way with the Star Wars fanbase and strategy fandom!
Adding to the game‘s credibility, Bit Reactor has received support from Respawn Entertainment, known for their work on popular titles such as Titanfall and Jedi: Survivor. This partnership further demonstrates the potential of this game, as well as the focus on excellence that has gone into the game’s development thus far.
Star Wars Zero Company will be on center stage at this year’s Star Wars Celebration on April 19. Players should stay tuned to learn more about its advanced roster of features and gameplay mechanics! As you can imagine, anticipation is sky-high for this release! The enthusiasm grew even further after the game first leaked earlier this month through an artist’s portfolio connected to Bit Reactor.
