- Star Wars Zero Company It will take between 30 and 40 hours to complete the main campaign.
- The game will not feature New Game Plus mode, romance systems, or branching stories.
- Post-launch content is also not confirmed at this time.
Bit Reactor has confirmed that Star Wars Zero Company It will take up to 40 hours to finish and will not have New Game Plus mode.
The single-player turn-based tactics game is one of my most anticipated titles of the year, and ahead of its release next month, the studio held a community Q&A session to answer a long series of questions.
One of the first questions was how long the campaign will last, and lead producer Caydence Funk has confirmed that “depending on your difficulty level and experience with the strategy genre”, it is estimated that it could take the average player between 30 and 40 hours to beat it.
It is also confirmed that the story will be linear, without romantic systems or branching paths.
“While we’re excited to push the genre forward with a more cinematic approach, this is still a turn-based tactics game where skill and strategy are needed to overcome the tense combat challenges,” said Bit Reactor. “That said, there are moments in the story that can change depending on who you have on your team, but the overall story is linear from start to finish.”
Personally, 40 hours is the ideal length, and a linear story means I can experience the entire story without having to worry about missing out on additional stories.
“As far as exploration goes, yes, you will have the chance to explore a section of some planets before engaging in turn-based combat on them,” the studio added.
“This is a minor facet of the game that we believe adds a unique and immersive quality to Star Wars Zero Company. These small segments are an opportunity for you, as Hawks, to carry out the espionage that Zero Company excels at, and are exclusive segments to the main story that can affect subsequent combat by granting information and advantage points.”
Unfortunately, the game won’t launch with New Game Plus mode, so new playthroughs will have to be entirely new, “but players will unlock certain customization options in subsequent playthroughs” through progression.
Company Zero It’s set during one of my favorite eras of Star Wars, the Clone Wars, so I’m really excited to experience a new story during this time period.
We can expect battles across the galaxy with the Separatist Alliance, a team consisting of a clone trooper, a Mandalorian, a Jedi Padawan, an Umbaran sniper and more, as well as the appearance of Anakin Skywalker.
Customization will also play a big role in the game, and although players cannot have a full team of Clone Troopers, Bit Reactor confirmed that you will have access to clone armor cosmetics with the ability to customize your team’s armor from the start. The outfits don’t affect gameplay, but the Clone Trooper helmets will provide a voice modulation effect, which sounds cool!
Even better, The Clone Wars television series voice actor Dee Bradley Baker will provide his iconic voice to the character Trick and additional Clone Troopers, but the full cast has yet to be announced.
As for additional content, good news, there are no plans to add microtransactions to the game; However, the “Arc Trooper” armor set is only part of the “Grand Army of the Republic” cosmetic pack for the Deluxe Edition, but players will still have access to other cosmetic options in the base game.
The game will also not have mod support, and “at this time” post-launch content is unconfirmed because Bit Reactor is “focused on making the best game possible at launch.”
Star Wars Zero Company launches on August 27 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Series S.
