"Star Wars Tactics Game Unveiled at 2025 Celebration"

EA's upcoming Star Wars turn-based tactics game is set to make its grand reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2025. Announced back in early 2022, this untitled strategy game is being developed by Bit Reactor, a studio formed by veterans from Firaxis Games, renowned for their work on the acclaimed XCOM series. Bit Reactor has collaborated closely with Respawn Entertainment, the team behind Star Wars Jedi, on this exciting project, and they are now ready to showcase their progress.

Mark your calendars for April 19, as the first look at the game will be presented during a live panel featuring the lead development team from Bit Reactor, alongside representatives from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. This event is listed on the official Star Wars Celebration 2025 schedule.

Details on the Upcoming Star Wars Strategy Game

While specifics about the game are still under wraps, including the era it will be set in and the exact mechanics of its gameplay, the involvement of former XCOM developers suggests a tactical experience infused with the rich lore of the Star Wars universe. Fans can anticipate a game that combines strategic depth with the iconic elements of Star Wars.

Respawn Entertainment, in addition to their collaboration on this project, is also busy developing the third installment in their Star Wars Jedi series. However, there's no confirmation yet on whether this game will be featured at Star Wars Celebration. It's worth noting that Respawn had been working on another Star Wars project, a first-person shooter rumored to star a Mandalorian protagonist, but it was canceled amid a significant restructuring at EA that resulted in the loss of around 670 jobs. Additionally, earlier in March, Respawn canceled a multiplayer first-person shooter project, affecting an unspecified number of staff members.

Star Wars Celebration 2025 promises more than just the reveal of the new strategy game. Lucasfilm will also provide a sneak peek at the upcoming movie, "The Mandalorian & Grogu," slated for release in May 2026, and a first look at "Star Wars: Visions Volume 3."
