Veteran studio Firaxis teamed up with the Bit Reactor team to release the turn-based tactical Star Wars Zero Company after receiving an unexpected late-night call from Respawn Entertainment head Vince Zampella. The game has already been well-received by players, and the team shared their vision for the entire genre in a podcast with writers on the Iron Lords channel.
Development director Greg Furd encouraged fans of the genre to ask the developers to focus more on graphics and plot. In his opinion, turn-based tactics can be as exciting as blockbusters and provide a deep story without compromising gameplay.
