Fresh off the Official Story Trailer, Star Wars: Zero Company took the stage at IGN Live 2026 with a panel featuring Director Greg Foertsch and Lead Designer James Brawley, as reported by IGN. The upcoming single-player turn-based tactics game is set in the twilight of the Clone Wars, but don’t expect it to throw you directly into the frontlines of galactic conflict.
A War Beneath the War
«There’s so many things going on. Lots of different backroom dealing, lots of politics at play,» Foertsch explained during the panel. «While the Clone Wars is happening, there’s this other war happening beneath the war.» Instead of large-scale battles, Zero Company seems to focus on the clandestine operations and political maneuvering that defined the era’s gray areas.

Details remain scarce, but the game is explicitly single-player and turn-based, with a heavy emphasis on tactics. The panel also touched on character customization and how the story ties into established canon, though no specifics were revealed. Given Foertsch’s comments, players will likely navigate a morally complex campaign where choices matter behind the scenes.
