REVEALED: Vince zampella - The Real Truth

'Star Wars: Zero Company' preview — the XCOM (and Mass Effect?!) successor I didn't know I needed is a personal GOTY contender

I recently had the opportunity to play Star Wars: Zero Company. Not only does it deliver an authentic Star Wars experience with a big XCOM twist, there are also unexpected shades of Mass Effect here I couldn't ignore.

Windows Central

Star Wars Zero Company exists because late Call of Duty co-creator Vince Zampella wanted to know about an XCOM veteran's dream game: "Do you think you can make a Star Wars game with this?"

"I'm thinking, 'This is insane, right? Like, this is crazy. It's Star Wars.'"

GamesRadar

Star Wars Zero Company is more than just 'Star Wars XCOM'—it feels like Mass Effect but with turn-based tactics and permadeath

This Clone Wars tactics game from former XCOM devs may end up 2026's biggest surprise.
