Star Wars Zero Company Was Originally an Apex Legends Tactical Game, Court Docs Suggest

Game File reports that Star Wars Zero Company, the turn-based strategy game published by Electronic Arts and developed by Bit Reactor, may have started as a tactical game using the Apex Legends IP. The report draws on court documents from an ongoing lawsuit at Bit Reactor between co-founder Greg Foertsch and fellow co-founder and former COO Alison Kelly. According to documents submitted by Foertsch's side, the predecessor team had been working on a turn-based tactical concept since around 2019. In January 2020, they pitched it to Respawn Entertainment executives. That spring, 'VZ', believed to be the late Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella, asked them to propose a concept using a company-designated IP. Foertsch created materials and presented to Respawn personnel. The court documents reference a concept related to Apex Legends, which Game File suggests may have been the original tactical game. IGN has described it as set in the Titanfall world, but details remain unclear. After the original concept was not realized, Zampella encouraged a different subject, leading to Star Wars. EA wanted a corporate contract, and Bit Reactor was founded in 2021. The game released on August 28, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Metacritic score of 85 and a user score of 7.8.

Bit Reactor Furloughed 80% of Staff Before Star Wars Zero Company Launch

Bit Reactor, the studio behind the turn-based strategy game STAR WARS Zero Company, placed roughly 80 percent of its development team on unpaid furlough weeks before the game launched, according to a report from Game File. EA released the game on August 28 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A Bit Reactor representative confirmed the furloughs to Game File, called the decision difficult, and said it was made by the studio alone, not at the direction of publisher EA or Star Wars licensor Disney. The representative said the studio wants to bring furloughed staff back with pay restored, and that the game's success could influence the outcome. Some people familiar with the situation doubt all furloughed staff will return to their jobs. Zachariah Scott, a former senior technical artist laid off in May, told Game File he contacted about ten former employees and each said they had been furloughed three weeks prior. Scott said the studio concealed the fact that the team had been furloughed.

After Returning by Death, he presses Shaula on the rules of the trial she holds, beginning the trial-and-error process to conquer the tower.
