"Star Wars Celebration 2025 to Unveil New Turn-Based Tactics Game"

Apr 12,2025 Author: Benjamin

Excitement is building as EA gears up to unveil its new Star Wars turn-based tactics game at the Star Wars Celebration 2025. Announced back in early 2022, this untitled strategy game is being developed by Bit Reactor, a studio founded by veterans from Firaxis Games, known for their acclaimed work on the XCOM series. Collaborating closely with Respawn Entertainment, the team behind the Star Wars Jedi series, Bit Reactor is now ready to showcase their creation to the world.

The first glimpse of this highly anticipated game will be revealed on April 19 during a live panel at the Star Wars Celebration. The event will feature key members from Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games, promising an insightful session on what fans can expect from this new addition to the Star Wars gaming universe.

What to Expect from the New Star Wars Strategy Game

While details about the game remain shrouded in mystery, including the specific Star Wars era it will explore and the exact mechanics of its gameplay, the involvement of former XCOM developers hints at a tactical experience steeped in the rich lore of Star Wars. Fans can look forward to a game that combines strategic depth with the iconic elements of the Star Wars universe.

Respawn Entertainment, while collaborating on this project, continues to work on the third installment of its Star Wars Jedi series. However, there's no indication that this new Jedi game will make an appearance at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration. It's also worth noting that Respawn had been developing another Star Wars game—a first-person shooter rumored to feature a Mandalorian protagonist—but this project was canceled amid a significant restructuring at EA, which resulted in the loss of around 670 jobs. Additionally, earlier in March, Respawn canceled a multiplayer first-person shooter incubation project, affecting an unspecified number of staff.

In other news from Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm is set to provide sneak peeks at several upcoming projects, including the much-anticipated The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, slated for release in May 2026, and the first look at Star Wars: Visions Volume 3.
