moviesAug 28, 202653861

Electronic Arts and Bit Reactor, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, released Star Wars Zero Company today on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Zero Company is a squad-based tactical-strategy game set at the end of the Clone Wars around the events of Revenge of the Sith, casting players as former Republic officer Hawks who recruits an elite squad to stop a shadowy cult called the Infinite Coil. Squads can include original Star Wars characters and customizable recruits with archetypes such as scoundrels, force-wielders, and droids; teammates gain bonds and unlock new synergies by completing missions together. Bit Reactor, composed largely of former XCOM developers, designed Zero Company to share tactical DNA with XCOM-style games. Greg Foertsch, Game Director and CEO of Bit Reactor, said the team was proud to launch the game and thanked players for their encouragement. The Digital Deluxe Edition adds Clone Wars era cosmetic packs. Star Wars Zero Company is rated T for Teen and is available now on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

I unironically love that you can have a conversation with a Gonk droid in Zero Company.

A screenshot of Star Wars Zero Company. My player character stands next to a Gonk droid in the underbelly of a planet-city. It's dark, the hues are grey and brown and yellow, and a single street light casts my player character and the droid in start shadows. On top of the Gonk droid is an "E" prompt labelled "Talk"

I’m very much enjoying my XCOM Star Wars skin video game. It has everything I want from a XCOM game and a good Star Wars story so far!

@proxi.dog

star wars zero company has me in a vice-grip. it reminds me so much of xcom 2, including running really badly and having a lot of bugs

On my first mission i got an achievment for missing a shot with over 90% accuracy It truly is like xcom 2

These are pretry much all games I played on other platforms or when I was subscribed to GamePass. We’ll find out on Monday but I’m hoping all the first party stuff will be disc to digital and (ideally) play anywhere

Lemon Jerome1

Can’t go wrong with a cheap copy of DOOM 2016

Alex James Kane1

Gears 4 was *good* imo

Quoting this

Gonna dive into Star Wars Zero Company tonight but maaaaan I am hankering for a replay of those two Wolfenstein games

wolfgabe.bsky.social2

Some damn fine bargains here. Except Balan Wonderworld, I don't even think that game is worth even 5 bucks

@badambulist.bsky.social

the good news is, it’s fine, like 100fps, though still a bit unstable the bad news is, someone used the word ‘kark’ as a swear and I might be too star wars hostile to play this
