take 30-40 hours to beat the main campaign The game won't feature New Game Plus mode, romance systems, or branching story paths Post-launch content is also unconfirmed at this time Bit Reactor has confirmed that Star Wars Zero Company will take up to 40 hours to finish, and it won't have a New Game Plus mode.

The single-player turn-based tactics game is one of my most anticipated
titles of the year, and ahead of its launch next month, the studio has conducted a community Q&A to answer a long series of questions. One of the first questions asked how long the campaign will be, and lead producer Caydence Funk has confirmed that "Depending on your difficulty level and experience with the strategy genre," it's estimated that it can take between 30 and 40 hours for the average player to beat.

It's also confirmed that the story will be linear with no romance systems or branching paths.

"While we are excited about pushing the genre forward with a more cinematic approach, this is still a turn-based tactics game at its heart where adept skill and strategy are needed to overcome tense combat challenges," Bit Reactor said. "That said, there are story moments that can alter based on who you have in your squad, but the overall story is a linear one from beginning to end." You may like Fuse Games says Star Wars: Galactic Racer has an 'unbelievable' level of depth with 'trillions' of vehicle part combinations The Blood of Dawnwalker director says the game's time limit system won't 'punish' players 'Youll be able to complete a majority of the game before
the time runs out' Star Wars: Galactic Racer creative director says game will have 'consequential decision-making' with a 'runs-based structure inside the campaign' 'We want every decision to matter'

Personally, 40 hours is the ideal length, and a linear story means I can experience everything the story without having to worry about missing out on additional storylines.

"As far as exploration goes, yes, youll have the ability to explore a section of some planets prior to engaging in turn-based combat on them," the studio added.

"This is a minor facet of the game that we feel adds a unique, immersive quality to Star Wars Zero Company . These small segments are a chance for
you, as Hawks, to conduct the espionage that Zero Company excels at, and are main-story-only segments that can affect the subsequent combat by granting Intel and Advantage Points."

Unfortunately, the game won't launch with New Game Plus mode, so new playthroughs will have to be completely fresh, "but players will unlock certain customization options on subsequent playthroughs" through progress.

Zero Company is set during one of my favorite Star Wars eras, the Clone
Wars, so I'm very excited to experience a new story during this time period. What to read next 'The world is living and it's not waiting for you' The Blood of Dawnwalker director says the RPG's 30-day timer gives the story a 'sense of urgency' and 'emotional impact' Star Wars: Starfighter release date, confirmed cast, and everything else we know about Lucasfilm's new
sci-fi movie Zero Parades: For Dead Spies review: an ambitious psychodrama that charts its own course

We can expect battles across the galaxy with the Separatist Alliance, a team consisting of a Clone Trooper, a Mandalorian, a Jedi Padawan, an Umbaran sniper, and more, as well as the appearance of Anakin Skywalker.

Customization will also play a big role in the game, and while players can't have an entire team of Clone Troopers, Bit Reactor confirmed that you'll have access to Clone armor cosmetics with the ability to customize your team's armor from the start. Outfits don't impact gameplay, but Clone Trooper
helmets will provide a voice modulation effect, which sounds neat!

Even cooler, The Clone Wars TV series voice actor Dee Bradley Baker will provide his iconic voice to the character Trick and additional Clone
Troopers, but the full cast has yet to be announced.

As for additional content, good news, there are no plans for
microtransactions to be added to the game; however, the "Arc Trooper" Armor Set is only part of the "Grand Army of the Republic" Cosmetic Pack for the Deluxe Edition, but players will still have access to other cosmetic options in the base game.

The game also won't have mod support, and "right now" post-launch content isn't confirmed because Bit Reactor is "focused on making the best game we
can at launch."

Star Wars Zero Company launches on August 27 for PC, PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X , and Series S .
