After a long period without updates, Star Wars Zero Company is finally back in the spotlight. The upcoming turn based strategy game set in the Star Wars universe is set to receive new information in May, with early teases already hinting at gameplay and feature details.
Preview set to reveal new information
The renewed attention comes from an upcoming issue of PC Gamer, which reportedly had early access to the game. The magazine plans to share its impressions in May, marking the first substantial update since the initial reveal.
While exact details remain under wraps, the preview is expected to provide a clearer look at gameplay systems and the overall direction of the project.
Tactical gameplay inspired by XCOM
Star Wars Zero Company is described as a turn based tactical strategy game, drawing clear inspiration from the XCOM series. Players will command a small squad of specialists and complete mission objectives through careful planning and positioning.
Typical missions may involve rescuing targets, eliminating key enemies, or securing objectives under time pressure.
Custom squads and diverse characters
One of the core features is the ability to build and customize your own squad. Players can choose from a variety of units, including clones, Jedi, Mandalorians, and other factions from the Star Wars universe.
The game will also include predefined characters with unique names and backgrounds, while still allowing players to create their own team compositions.
More than just a Star Wars XCOM

More details are expected once the full preview is released.
