Get ready for an exciting reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2025! EA is set to unveil their highly anticipated Star Wars turn-based tactics game, developed by Bit Reactor. This studio, founded by veterans of Firaxis Games renowned for the XCOM franchise, has been collaborating closely with Respawn Entertainment, the creators of the Star Wars Jedi series, to bring this new project to life. Mark your calendars for April 19, when the lead development teams from Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games will showcase the game during a live panel.
While details about the game remain scarce, including the specific Star Wars era it will be set in and the precise gameplay mechanics, expectations are high. Given Bit Reactor's background, fans can anticipate a strategic experience reminiscent of XCOM, infused with the rich universe of Star Wars.
In other news, Respawn Entertainment continues to develop the third installment of their Star Wars Jedi trilogy, though it won't be featured at this year's celebration. Unfortunately, a previously planned first-person shooter featuring a Mandalorian protagonist was canceled amid a significant restructuring at EA, resulting in the loss of around 670 jobs. Additionally, Respawn recently discontinued a multiplayer first-person shooter project, affecting an unspecified number of staff.
Star Wars Celebration 2025 promises more than just game reveals. Lucasfilm will also provide a sneak peek at the upcoming film, "The Mandalorian & Grogu," slated for release in May 2026, along with a first look at "Star Wars: Visions Volume 3."
