Pre-loading of Star Wars Zero Company has started, the exact release time has become known

According to a recent tweet, Star Wars Zero Company is now available for pre-load on all platforms, and the tactical game is scheduled to launch at 18:00 UTC. This applies to all versions. Star Wars Zero Company releases August 27 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.

The game takes place during the Clone Wars and centers on Hawks leading a group of mercenaries to stop Fathom. Along the way you will also have to destroy many bandits and droids.

Bit Reactor doesn't hide its XCOM influences, but there's a twist to the usual turn-based, cover-centric gameplay: an edge. Once they've built up an advantage, players can unleash powerful ultimates, although they're spread across the entire team, so you'll have to choose the right moment.

The game will take between 30 and 40 hours to complete, and the developer is not yet sure if DLC is planned.
