Let me creep around battlefields as droids and aliens, fighting off enemies using turn-based action. Sounds great. I can\u2019t wait to play this thing when it arrives in a few months, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/the-release-date-for-respawns-strategy-game-star-wars-zero-company-has-leaked-ahead-of-its-sgf-gameplay-reveal\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as was leaked earlier this week.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Star Wars Zero Company will be released on August 27 for $49.99 on PC and $59.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new gameplay trailer for Star Wars Zero Company debuted at Summer Game Fest 2026, and it not&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":718829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,21883,260073,241931],"class_list":["post-718828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-star-wars","tag-star-wars-zero-company","tag-summer-game-fest"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
