Summary
- Leaked images appear to reveal a new tactical Star Wars game developed by Respawn and Bit Reactor.

- The game is set be officially revealed on April 19.
A new rumor appears to depict several leaked images from Respawn’s rumored tactical Star Wars game. The Star Wars title is currently in development in collaboration with Bit Reactor, although little is officially known about the game.
The history of Star Wars games has always been a mixed bag, with some exceptional titles mixed in with more middling releases. In recent times, the Star Wars Jedi series has been a highlight, while Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws found better critical success than it did commercial. The franchise has even crossed over into other games, with a new rumor suggesting that Fortnite will soon be crossing over with Star Wars again.

It’s been nearly eight years since DICE delivered one of the most controversial Star Wars games of all time, but some may still be looking to play it.
According to MP1st, new images of Respawn and Bit Reactor’s tactical Star Wars game have leaked from an artist’s portfolio, giving fans some important information about the upcoming title, including its development codename, Star Wars: Bruno. The images show players in turn-based combat playing as Mandalorians fighting clone troopers, as well as a headquarters in a location named the “Kafrene Mining Colony,” with options for the Armory, Holotable, Special Ops, and the Black Market. In terms of gameplay, it looks more like XCOM than Star Wars: Empire at War, the franchise’s last attempt at a tactical title.
Images Leak of ‘Star Wars: Bruno’
It has already been confirmed that Respawn and Bit Reactor’s Star Wars game will be revealed on April 19, so fans don’t have long to wait to see it in action. If these images are in fact real (and they do appear to be), they should be taken with a pinch of salt. According to MP1st, the images from the artist’s portfolio are dated to mid-2023, meaning they come from a much older build of the game. Plenty could have changed since then, and it’ll be interesting to see what exactly has been altered.
Star Wars video games are in an interesting place at the moment. There are plenty of Star Wars games confirmed to be in development, but very little is known about any of them right now, leaving fans feeling slightly in the dark. Hopefully, the upcoming Star Wars Celebration convention in Japan will shed some light on these titles and what they’ll feature.
