Star Wars Zero Company: Dive Deep into Clone Trooper Customization – With a Deluxe Catch!
Star Wars fans, get ready! While details about Bit Reactor’s highly anticipated tactical strategy game, Star Wars Zero Company, have been scarcer than lightsabers at a blaster fight, a recent Q&A session has finally spilled some exciting beans. And if you’re like us, obsessed with commanding your own army, you’re going to love what’s coming – mostly!
The biggest reveal, especially for those of us who grew up dreaming of leading a Clone Trooper squad, is that you absolutely can build a full team of Clones. Imagine that! The developers confirmed that right from the get-go, all your operators will have access to Clone armour cosmetics. But it gets even better: you’ll eventually unlock actual Clone Trooper operators “after a certain point in the story,” allowing you to assemble that dream, all-Clone elite unit.
And here’s a super cool detail that will get every fanboy and fangirl hyped: those iconic Clone helmets won’t just look the part – they’ll actually add voice modulation to your characters! Talk about immersion! When asked about the variety of customization, from ARF troopers to commandos, the lead designer teased, “We think you’ll be very happy with the selection of paint jobs and patterns we have for helmets, armor, and more for Clone Trooper customization.” So, it sounds like we’ll have plenty of options to make our Clones truly unique.
However, there’s always a “but,” isn’t there? For those of you hoping to recreate Captain Rex’s legendary look or don that classic Phase 1 ARC Trooper armour, you might need to open your wallets a bit wider. The lead producer confirmed that this specific, highly sought-after armour will be exclusive to the “Grand Army of the Republic” cosmetic pack, which is only included with the Deluxe Edition of the game. A bit of a bummer for some, perhaps, but not entirely unexpected in today’s gaming landscape.
On the flip side, Bit Reactor has some great news to balance that out. They’ve explicitly stated that there are “no plans for monetization or microtransactions” in Star Wars Zero Company. This means that all the other fantastic customization options, outside of that Deluxe Edition pack, will be earnable purely through playing the game. Plus, they mentioned that Zero Company won’t even be a full-priced game, which is always a welcome relief for our gaming budgets! So, get ready to deploy your customized Clone Troopers and dive into some tactical Star Wars action without breaking the bank on endless cosmetic purchases.
