Gameplay and campaign details
Developed by Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment and published by EA, Zero Company is set during the Clone Wars era. Players take on the role of Hawks, the leader of Zero Company, a group of misfits and mercenaries who have to tackle an emerging threat.
EA says that players can expect to sink around 30-40 hours into the main story campaign. Main character Hawks is required for all missions in the campaign, and if he dies in combat then players will fail that mission and be forced to start it again. Developers have promised a “deep well” of weapons and utilities for players to experiment with, while there is no New Game+ mode for those who complete the main campaign.
