New Star Wars PS5 Game to Be Showcased Soon

Star Wars tactics game by Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment will be shown this week

The panel schedule for Star Wars Celebration in Japan was announced a few days ago, and will give peeks at some of the new shows and movies from a galaxy far, far away. Slated for April 19 from 4:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. on the Galaxy Stage, there will be a “Bit Reactor Developer Panel featuring Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games.” Although details are very slim, the description does state it will give the first look at its upcoming turn-based tactics game.

Back in 2022, Electronic Arts revealed it was working on three games with the Titanfall developer. One of them became Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The second was a first-person shooter, but was canceled last year amid layoffs.

The Star Wars turn-based tactics game is developed by Bit Reactor, a studio helmed by Greg Foerstch. Much of the studio is made up of members who have worked on the XCOM franchise, making them a pretty solid pick for a tactics game set in the popular IP.

“We are excited to continue working with the superbly talented developers at Respawn,” said Douglas Reilly, VP, Lucasfilm Games during the original announcement. “They have demonstrated excellence in telling epic Star Wars stories along with best-in-class gameplay across different genres and we are looking forward to bringing more amazing experiences to the galaxy far, far away.”

“We are huge fans of Star Wars here at Respawn and we’re thrilled to work with Lucasfilm Games on new titles that we have wanted to make for years,” said Zampella in that original announcement. “If you want to make great Star Wars games, you should come join us on our journey.”
