EA's highly anticipated Star Wars turn-based tactical game will debut at Star Wars Celebration 2025. Originally announced in early 2022, this untitled project comes from Bit Reactor - a studio founded by Firaxis Games veterans renowned for their work on the XCOM series.

Development Team Reveals First Look

Bit Reactor has collaborated closely with Respawn Entertainment (creators of Star Wars Jedi series) and Lucasfilm Games on this strategic venture. The developers will showcase their work during a special panel on April 19, 2025, as confirmed by the official Star Wars Celebration schedule.

Gameplay Speculation and Industry Context

While details remain scarce regarding era setting or specific mechanics, the XCOM pedigree suggests deep tactical gameplay reimagined through a Star Wars lens. This reveal comes amidst ongoing Star Wars projects, though Respawn's Jedi trilogy continuation won't appear at this year's event.

The gaming world eagerly awaits this fresh take on strategic Star Wars combat from industry veterans.
