Star Wars Zero Company Is the Andor Replacement No One Expected

A writer for Polygon expressed casual interest in the Star Wars franchise, enjoying some standalone films like Rogue One and the series Andor. They appreciated Andor's focus on inner politics within the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars Zero Company, a game, was originally pitched as a game in the Titanfall universe, according to IGN. The game's development was led by director Greg Foertsch and studio co-founder Alison Kelly, who pitched a tactics game to Respawn Entertainment co-founder Vince Zampella.

The pitch was ultimately rejected, and the game became a Star Wars game instead. The studio behind the game, Bit Reactor, ran out of money and furloughed most of its employees just before launch, but there is hope that they will be rehired if the game is successful.
