Welcome to the world of Aliya’s Awakening: DOGE 2042, a narrative-driven interactive cyberpunk adventure game. In a world where government has become the most influential megacorporation, information and privacy are the most valuable currency. Advanced surveillance, AI security, and ruthless corporations dominate every aspect of society, controlling what people see, hear, and believe. Aliya is a cybersecurity analyst working for Cascadia, a multi-trillion dollar megacorporation, striving to secure a better future for her family. After meeting Lua, her Shiba Inu best friend, he became her world, driving her to work harder, take on more responsibilities, and ensure he had the best care possible. One day while alone working, her office was raided. Everything she has and has worked for was taken away in an instant. Imprisoned and accused of a crime she didn't commit, Aliya must find the truth before it’s too late.

Star Wars: Zero Company will feature a varied roster of characters as part of the main squad, including a Mandalorian, Jedi Padawan, and an astromech droid--but for the main protagonist of Hawks, players will be free to customize that operative. Speaking to GameSpot, Bit Reactor creative director Greg Foertsch revealed that players will have a selection of options to help fine-tune the look of Hawks, ranging from gender and voice through to their species in the Star Wars galaxy.

"You can live through that character however you want," Foertsch said. "If you want to change the species, you can. If you want to change their voice, you can."

The driving theme behind Hawks will be their origin story as a former Republic officer and how they're forced to assemble a motley crew to take on a dangerous adversary while the Clone Wars rage on in the background. While Hawks has been designed to have just enough of a personality for players to imprint themselves on, Zero Company's roster of "authored characters" will all have their own distinct backstories and personalities that players will discover as they progress through the game. One of these allies is Tell, a Jedi Padawan on a quest to finish her fallen master's final mission, and there'll also be some friction between the rest of the crew due to natural rivalries and animosity.

Star Wars video games have primarily focused on action for several years now, but Star Wars: Zero Company breaks from that trend by throwing players into the battlefields of a single-player tactics game. The genre remains fairly popular thanks to games like XCOM, Gears Tactics, and Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters, but there's still a perceived barrier to entry in a genre that doesn't hesitate to throw a lot of gameplay mechanics at its audience.

Developer Bit Reactor is looking to avoid this issue with Zero Company, as the studio is aiming to create a Star Wars adventure that is both approachable and appealing to hardcore fans of the genre. Speaking to GameSpot, Bit Reactor creative director Greg Foertsch explained how Zero Company will organically teach players its systems as they delve deeper into the murky underbelly of the Clone Wars.

"I think that when you look at these games--in general--a lot of times the mechanics can overwhelm and you tack the story on later. By using the story to guide us, it doesn't shut down doors, it open doors. "And it's not just about what we want people to play, but also what we want them to feel. And so through camera work, presentation, and story, I think we're able to hit a lot of notes and really make this game appeal in a different way and kind of innovate in a way that the other games in the space haven't. I think we're really focused on trying to like marry those two aspects of it, the immersion and the presentation level with the mechanics."

After an official reveal at Star Wars Celebration Japan, new details on Star Wars: Zero Company have been revealed. One of the interesting things about the game is its setting, as the events of Zero Company will unfold during the Clone Wars. While the galactic civil war has been explored in detail, Zero Company will focus on the hidden stories of that conflict and the covert operations that took place. Thematically, the game draws upon Star Wars stories like the Clone Wars animated series, Rogue One, and its prequel series Andor, as well as classic World War II movies like the Dirty Dozen.

"The Clone Wars offers us a lot of the tools we need mechanically for the game, which is great," Bit Reactor creative director Greg Foertsch explained in an interview with GameSpot. "But it's also interesting, we haven't seen that kind of zoom level in the Clone Wars, and so it's a pretty unique spot to land that also offered a lot of great options for us from a game design perspective, to tell a really great story with some great mechanics added to it. That really opened the door for us to do a lot of things."

LucasFilm Games producers Orion Kellogg and Kelsey Sharpe added that the Clone Wars era allowed for "all sorts of places in that zone" where original stories could be told. The nuanced storytelling of the Clone Wars was a big influence on Zero Company, alongside the boots-on-the-ground atmosphere of Rogue One. Films like the Dirty Dozen also inspired the idea of how the Zero Company squad comes together, but as Sharpe noted, the first Star Wars film still stands as the guiding light for the game.

After being teased earlier this week, Star Wars: Zero Company was officially revealed at Star Wars Celebration Japan on Saturday. The cinematic trailer for the game introduced the primary cast of Zero Company: a group of covert specialists who players will control in this turn-based tactics game. Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, Star Wars: Zero Company will launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.

Set during the twilight of the Clone Wars, players will step into the shoes of former Republic officer Hawks, who leads a motley crew of specialists behind enemy lines. Some of the characters here include a Clonetrooper, a Jedi Knight, and a Mandalorian, all of whom are original characters created for the game. Bit Reactor says that players will embark on a campaign of tactical operations and investigations in Zero Company, and between missions, they can develop a base of operations and gather intelligence through their network of informants.

Solo Leveling is an action-fantasy anime based on the Korean manhwa series and light novel series of the same name. It's set in a fictional version of our world where inter-dimensional monsters invade Earth through mysterious portals that connect to dangerous dungeons, and these creatures can only be stopped by super-powered humans called Hunters. Hunters are divided into ranks, ranging from lowly E-class fighters and up to the elite S-class combatants who wield terrifying powers. The catch here is that a class cannot be improved upon, so if someone were to awaken as an E-class, they'd be stuck at that ranking for the rest of their life.
