Tippett Studios Closes After 35 Years of Pioneering Animation

Tippett Studios Closes After 35 Years of Pioneering Animation

[Sunday, August 30, 2026 | Views: 229]

Tippet Studio, an animation studio founded by veteran animator Phil Tippett, is sadly closing its doors in Berkeley, California after filing for bankruptcy. As part of the closure, the contents of the warehouse will be auctioned off this weekend, including several items
of interest for sale to Star Wars fans.

Phil Tippett's work began at the very beginning of Star Wars: from animating the pieces for the holographic Dejarik chess set in A New Hope, which Tippett recreated for The Force Awakens.  They also served as inspiration for the epic Dejarik battle in The Mandalorian and Grogu, where these stop-motion creatures were blown up to full size. Tippett's touch can be felt in every aspect of Star Wars: the AT-AT walkers from The Empire Strikes Back and the Rancor from Return of the Jedi still delight fans decades later.

Reviews for Star Wars Zero Company are out - and Bit Reactor may have a hit

Reviews for Star Wars Zero Company are out - and Bit Reactor may have a hit

For several months now, Star Wars Zero Company has been using one somewhat awkward description.

Star Wars XCOM.

Of course, it was useful. Everyone immediately understood roughly what Bit Reactor does. But now the reviews have come in, and critics seem increasingly convinced that Zero Company deserves to avoid mentioning those two words.

At the time of writing, the game has an average rating of 88 on OpenCritic, and 91% of critics recommend it. This places the first Bit Reactor game among the best releases of 2026 and, perhaps more importantly for us, among the best Star Wars games in recent memory.

Not bad for a mercenary squad that no one had heard of a year ago.

Star Wars Zero Company was released yesterday, which means PC players have already performed the traditional pre-release ritual: updating their graphics card drivers and hoping that Windows doesn't suddenly discover seventeen more things that make it want to reboot too.

NVIDIA has released its latest GeForce Game Ready driver, and the top games included include Zero Company. More importantly, NVIDIA has confirmed that Bit Reactor's Star Wars tactical game will support DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Multi Frame Generation from day one.

While Hawks and his team worry about the approaching end of the Republic, your graphics card can take care of boosting frame rates.

A new mod for Star Wars Zero Company has appeared on NexusMods.com. More precisely, these are Engine Tweaks.

This Engine.ini code is configured by default for the RTX 4090 and may not improve or change performance as much as you would like without making changes. The following settings reduce performance on lower-end graphics cards that have ray tracing issues, or on graphics cards with less than 8 GB of video memory.

In addition, you can find many other mods on NexusMods.com-Star Wars Zero Company, but for now these are mostly visual or interface improvements.

Matt Webster, CEO and co-founder of Fuse Games, announced that Star Wars: Galactic Racer has been certified gold, meaning development has been completed and production can begin ahead of its October 6 release. Here's what Webster wrote earlier on the Fuse Games website...

“Golden” is a traditional term in the gaming industry, denoting the point at which a game is complete and ready for release and production. It dates back to the time when a “golden” disc was created - a master copy - after which physical copies of the game were printed.

This is an important milestone for the team. It represents all the effort, talent, sacrifice and knowledge that goes into creating a video game. The final stage of development is a real challenge. We tend to notice all the flaws in our creation and want to fix everything, but as we look to the future, we're excited about the game we created as the embodiment of the vision we formed when we started working on Fuse in 2023.

We want to best bring our vision to life by combining art and science to achieve our quality goals. Going through the quality control and certification processes of publishers and partners to achieve Gold status is worth celebrating, and that's why we're sharing it with you all today. We look forward to your feedback on the game we created."

Star Wars: Galactic Racer  releases worldwide on October 6th on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Place your pre-order on official website - enjoy the game!
