Bit Reactor

Bit Reactor is an independent AAA video game development studio established in 2021 in Hunt Valley, Maryland. It focuses on turn-based tactics and strategy games, combining strategic systems with narrative-driven gameplay, character animation and cinematic presentation.

The studio’s founding and development team includes veterans of Firaxis Games and other established developers. Their earlier experience spans franchises such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, The Elder Scrolls Online and Halo Infinite. These projects represent individual team members’ backgrounds before joining Bit Reactor.

Tactical games with cinematic presentation

Bit Reactor’s development approach brings together deep tactical mechanics, storytelling and high production values. Its capabilities span systems, gameplay and engine programming; narrative and level design; character art, rigging and animation; and technical art, lighting, visual effects and quality assurance. The studio uses Unreal Engine 5 to build responsive combat environments, supported by audio programming and cinematic production capabilities.

Its debut title, Star Wars Zero Company, is a turn-based tactical strategy game set during the Clone Wars. Developed in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games and published by Electronic Arts, it launched on August 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Following release, the studio continued work on live support, balancing updates and post-launch content patches. Its operating model combines a physical Maryland headquarters with remote developers across the United States, while its publishing and production collaborations connect its tactical development expertise with the wider Star Wars game project.
