Star Wars Zero Company: New story

This game will centre around Hawk, a former Republic officer, and his amazing mercenary crew known as Zero Company.

They are “unconventional outfit of professionals for hire” who takes on dangerous operations against an emerging threat.

While the plot is original, there will be subtle references to iconic Star Wars properties such as The Bad Batch and Star Wars: Obi-Wan.

The trailer suggests internal team conflict, which Hawks must negotiate, providing depth to the story and gameplay.

XCOM-style tactical gameplay

Star Wars Zero Company is going to provide an XCOM-like experience, according to the latest gameplay footage revealed.

Players will engage in strategic battles, turn-based chances, have to utilize the abilities, covers and environments to the fullest.

The combat appears to be violent and varied, from scouting for foes and sniping from a distance to Force-pushing droids and lobbing bombs.

A hilarious part in the teaser depicts a Clone Trooper’s weak aim, implying a lighter tone despite the high-stakes combat.
