It was back in 2022 that EA and Respawn Entertainment announced that they were working with Bit Reactor – a studio comprised of former XCOM devs – on a new strategy Star Wars game. In the years since, details on the title have been scant, though it seems an official announcement is not too far away now.
That’s as per Twitter user @bogorad222, who has claimed that the strategy title is going to be announced at this year’s Star Wars Celebration event, which is scheduled to take place in Japan from April 18-20. The game will allegedly release for PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, though it’s claimed that its full release lineup is “TBD”, which could potentially suggest a Nintendo Switch 2 version as well. Additionally, in its own report, Insider Gaming claims to have seen “sufficient evidence” from @bogorad222 to deem the leak “genuine”.
Little is known about Bit Reactor’s Star Wars title right now, other than the fact that it is being developed on Unreal Engine 5. After Respawn Entertainment suffered layoffs last year and ended up cancelling another unannounced Star Wars project, Bit Reactor assured everyone that its own project had remained “unaffected”.
