According to an insider tip from Timur222, the full presentation of Star Wars Zero Company will take place on April 19 (starting at 10:30 Moscow time) at a panel discussion at the Japanese Star Wars Celebration festival.

Organizers promise participation from leading developers from Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games, as well as an exclusive first look at Star Wars Zero Company.

Bit Reactor was founded in January 2021 by ex-Firaxis Games employees, led by its former art director Greg Foertsch. About 15 people (about a third of the studio) come from Firaxis and are XCOM veterans.
