Star Wars Zero Company studio furloughed workers ahead of launch
Star Wars Zero Company developer Bit Reactor confirmed that a number of employees were furloughed without pay prior to the game's August 27, 2026 launch due to concerns about its performance. Sources suggest a significant portion of the team was affected, with one former employee alleging "empty promises" and being cut off from profit sharing. The company hopes to reinstate staff if the Electronic Arts-published title proves successful.
