New details about Star Wars: Zero Company were recently discovered by fans, suggesting that its planned 2026 release may now be moving full steam ahead as new age rating updates surface from various advisory boards.
Star Wars: Zero Company Appears in Multiple Rating Boards as Release Rumors Grow
Rated Age 14 and Above on Various International Rating Sites
Star Wars: Zero Company, one of the most highly anticipated Star Wars games, might be coming out this year after fans discover new age rating updates from Brazilian, South Korean, and Australian advisory boards. Some of the listings even appear to have been rated as early as April.
The age rating listed on the official Brazilian government website classifies the game as not recommended for children under "14" years old.
Meanwhile, the South Korean game rating classification website recommends the game to players "15 and up" while also giving more detailed information. It suggests that Star Wars: Zero Company will have a grittier, more mature tone compared to other more lighthearted Star Wars entries. According to the listing, the game includes "realistic depictions of violence," as well as the use of vulgar language and profanity.
Perhaps the biggest piece of information gathered by fans across social media comes from the Australian game classification website. It confirms that the game takes place "between the Clone Wars era and the early Galactic Empire period" of the Star Wars franchise.
Prior to the description found in the Australian rating board, details about Star Wars: Zero Company’s time period were not explicitly mentioned in previous press releases from publisher Electronic Arts.
Age ratings are not usually definitive indicators that a game is nearing release. However, in recent years, games like Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077 had their ratings appear earlier in the marketing cycle, which fans often interpreted as a sign that their final release windows were approaching.
Potential Summer Game Fest Reveal
As Star Wars: Zero Company’s age ratings surface online, fans across social media are already left with a burning question about when the game could release since the game was previously only given a 2026 release window following its announcement in April 2025. One potential reason was developer Bit Reactor greeting fans on X (Twitter) during Star Wars’ "May the 4th" celebration, saying that they will see their fans "soon," hinting at a possible reveal at this year’s Summer Game Fest.
This has led some to believe that the game may make a potential showcase at Summer Game Fest this June 5; such an appearance could provide more information about these newly uncovered details, possibly even narrow down a release date.
Star Wars: Zero Company, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, is co-developed by Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment. It is one of the more "novel" takes on the Star Wars game franchise, featuring turn-based tactics gameplay similar to Firaxis’ award-winning XCOM series. The game follows Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads the Zero Company, a ragtag group of professionals hired to handle the galaxy’s more covert and morally grey operations.
More Star Wars games are set to release in the future, including Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a sequel to the acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic from BioWare. It is expected to be released sometime next year.
