Unlike most action games in the franchise, Society Zero is a turn-based tactical adventure, similar to titles like XCOMFor example. There is high hopes for Star Wars Zero Company to compensate for part of the potential lost in Star Wars Outlawsreleased in 2024, although the open-world action-adventure game centered on Kay Vess was well received by critics – but not so much by players. Now we know it won’t take long to see what the new game will have to offer once it’s released.
