According to an investigation by MP1st, the project is being developed by Respawn and Bit Reactor with EA's support. Notably, the game's lead art director comes from XCOM. Internally codenamed "Bruno", it will officially be released as Star Wars: Zero Company.

Leaks suggest players can expect:

  • Isometric tactical gameplay with squad control
  • Diverse character roster
  • Missions featuring stealth mechanics
  • A central hub in Kafrene mining colony containing an equipment arsenal, mission holoboard, and special operations section

Particular interest surrounds the potential connection between "Zero Company" and the legendary "Scorch's Commando Squad" from the expanded universe.
