New leaks reveal Respawn and Bit Reactor's upcoming Star Wars game with turn-based XCOM-style gameplay. Play as Jedi, Mandalorians, and Droids. Full reveal on April 19, 2025.

A major leak has surfaced ahead of the official reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2025, giving fans their first glimpse at the next big Star Wars video game. The upcoming title, currently in development by Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor, appears to blend deep tactical gameplay with the rich lore of the Star Wars universe.

🎮 Tactical Combat in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Leaked images, originally spotted on the portfolio of a Bit Reactor artist and shared by user Ponds908 on Bluesky, showcase a turn-based strategy game clearly inspired by XCOM. Screenshots feature Mandalorians taking cover, Jedi in battle stances, and even hit-percentage indicators, a signature element of tactical strategy games.

One notable detail in the leaked material is the mission directive: “Support Bo-Katan”, referencing the popular Mandalorian leader from The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Mandalorian series. This suggests familiar characters could play a central role in the story — though the exact timeline of the game remains unclear.

🧠 Developed by Strategy Veterans

Bit Reactor, formed by former developers of the XCOM and Civilization franchises, is co-developing the project with Respawn, best known for the Star Wars Jedi series. Their experience with tactical gameplay systems is already visible in the UI design and team mechanics showcased in the leaked visuals.

While the leaked images are reportedly from 2023, the game could have undergone significant changes in the last two years. Still, what’s shown paints a promising picture of a truly unique take on Star Wars gaming.
