EA's highly anticipated Star Wars turn-based strategy title will debut at Star Wars Celebration 2025.
Originally announced in early 2022, this untitled project comes from Bit Reactor - a studio founded by Firaxis Games veterans renowned for their work on the XCOM series. Having collaborated closely with Respawn Entertainment (developers of Star Wars Jedi), the team is now preparing to unveil their creation.
The official reveal will occur during a special panel featuring key developers from Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games, as confirmed on the Star Wars Celebration 2025 schedule.

Details remain scarce regarding the game's setting within the Star Wars timeline or its specific mechanics. However, given the team's XCOM heritage, players can likely expect deep tactical gameplay infused with Star Wars lore.
While Respawn continues development on the third Star Wars Jedi installment, there's no confirmation of its appearance at this year's event. Previously, the studio had been working on a rumored Mandalorian-based FPS before its cancellation during EA's restructuring that affected approximately 670 employees. More recently in March, Respawn discontinued an undisclosed multiplayer FPS prototype, resulting in additional staff reductions.
Additional highlights at Star Wars Celebration include previews of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie (slated for May 2026) and early footage from Star Wars: Visions Volume 3.
