Star Wars Zero Company Details Confirm Permadeath, Three-Strike Injuries, and Third-Person Exploration

Bit Reactor leans into loss to raise tactical stakes in its Clone Wars squad game.

Overview

  • PC Gamer's exclusive on Thursday outlined core systems for Bit Reactor's Clone Wars tactics game.
  • Most characters can die for good through a three‑injury system, with Hawks as the lone exception who triggers a game over if they fall.
  • Between turn‑based battles, players explore in third person with full control of the customizable protagonist.
  • The roster blends handcrafted companions with procedurally generated recruits, and dialogue and missions adapt to who survives.
  • The story pits squads against Separatists and a new Dark Side cult, with a tentative 2026 release planned on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
