Turn-Based Tactical Combat in the Star Wars Universe
The leaked visuals showcase a turn-based combat system where players control a Mandalorian character battling Republic soldiers. Details such as hit percentages (e.g., 95% accuracy) are visible on screen. A key mechanic, “overwatch,” allows automatic attacks when enemies move, a familiar feature for XCOM fans.
Players can utilize equipment like thermal detonators to neutralize threats. A base management system is also present, with mechanics such as a Holotable, Armor Room, and Black Market enabling strategic decision-making.
Respawn and Bit Reactor Collaboration
Respawn Entertainment, known for the successful Star Wars Jedi series, is partnering with Bit Reactor, a studio comprised of veterans from the XCOM franchise. This collaboration aims to bring a strategic perspective to the Star Wars universe. Previously, Respawn had a Mandalorian shooter in development, which was reportedly cancelled in 2024. This new tactical game represents a fresh approach to the beloved franchise.
