Get ready for an exciting reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2025—Electronic Arts is set to unveil their new Star Wars turn-based tactics game. Announced back in early 2022, this highly anticipated game is being developed by Bit Reactor, a studio composed of veterans from Firaxis Games, renowned for their work on the critically acclaimed XCOM franchise. Bit Reactor has collaborated closely with Respawn Entertainment, the creators of the Star Wars Jedi series, to bring this project to life. Fans won't have to wait much longer as the game will be showcased on April 19 during a live panel featuring the lead development team from Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games.
While details about the game remain under wraps, including its setting within the Star Wars universe and specific gameplay mechanics, the involvement of former XCOM developers suggests a tactical experience infused with the rich lore of Star Wars. Enthusiasts can expect a thrilling blend of strategy and storytelling that captures the essence of the galaxy far, far away.
In other news, Respawn Entertainment is diligently working on the third installment of their Star Wars Jedi trilogy, though it's not expected to appear at this year's Celebration. Previously, Respawn was developing another Star Wars game, a first-person shooter rumored to feature a Mandalorian protagonist. Unfortunately, this project was canceled during a significant restructuring at EA that led to the loss of around 670 jobs. Additionally, a multiplayer first-person shooter incubation project was also quietly canceled earlier in March, affecting an unspecified number of team members.
Star Wars Celebration 2025 promises more than just the new game reveal. Lucasfilm will also offer a sneak peek at the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, set to hit theaters in May 2026, and a first look at Star Wars: Visions Volume 3. With so much exciting content on the horizon, Star Wars fans have plenty to look forward to.
