Star Wars Zero Company debuted this week, offering a turn‑based tactical experience that combines XCOM‑style gameplay with Star Wars narrative, and Ubisoft revealed Rainbow Six Tactics, a turn‑based adaptation of Rainbow Six Siege, during Gamescom Opening Night Live. Turn‑based tactical games have been rare in the AAA market, with the last widely released title resembling XCOM being Classified: France ’44, which launched more than two years ago. Zero Company is available on Xbox, PlayStation 5 and PC and is expected to launch in 2027. Rainbow Six Tactics will also be released on the same platforms with a 2027 target date. Intelligent Systems announced Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, a tactical role‑playing game featuring four protagonists and a content‑rich structure, slated for release later this year. The resurgence of turn‑based tactical titles may encourage further development in the genre and could influence Take‑Two’s consideration of an XCOM 3.
