Out now
Worldwide launch on 27 August 2026 at 8:00 a.m. PT (11:00 a.m. ET) on Steam, EA App, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
-
Metacritic 85
Generally favorable. Reviewers praise the tactics and the Clone Wars tone; several flag Unreal Engine 5 stutters and mid-mission crashes that can erase permadeath progress.
-
Twelve specializations
Eight standard classes plus four exotics. Mid-campaign you unlock a second specialization, so hybrid kits are intended, not a bug.
-
No live-service codes
Premium single-player. There are still no cheat or redemption codes. Pre-order owners keep the Crystalline Astromech Pack.
What changed at launch
The pre-launch wiki treated Zero Company as an upcoming title. That window closed on 27 August 2026. Greg Foertsch’s launch letter on EA frames the game as Bit Reactor’s first shipped project, greenlit with Vince Zampella after the studio originally pitched a different licensed tactics game.
A day-zero / day-one patch shipped with or immediately after the build. Early PC reports still mention freezes at the end of missions, slow enemy turns, and line-of-sight quirks. If you play with permadeath on, save in the Den between missions and do not treat Quick Resume as a safe quit.
Official material now names the full SDCC voice cast, the eight Operator species, Kundri Fathom and the Shadow Plague, the Caisson and its pilot M-3VO, and the volcanic world Luunata from the final trailer.

Install size

Reviews & issues
Score roundup plus the crash-and-permadeath warning every new player should see.
- Is it multiplayer?
- No. Single-player only — no co-op and no PvP.
- Is Anakin playable?
- Matt Lanter’s Anakin appears as a Jedi General. He is a story presence, not a recruitable Operator.
- Can story characters permadie?
- Yes, including Tel-Rea. If she dies, the Jedi Padawan specialization is gone for that campaign.
