Star Wars: Zero Company Reveals 16-Person Voice Cast at SDCC — Launches 27 August

Star Wars: Zero Company has a launch date (27 August), a genre (turn-based tactical RPG in the Clone Wars), and now, courtesy of its San Diego Comic-Con 2026 panel, a full 16-person voice cast. Bit Reactor brought the complete roster to SDCC on Friday, and the names alone make a compelling case for what is shaping up as one of the more interesting strategy games of the year.

The Full Zero Company Voice Cast

The headline reveal is the dual-protagonist approach. Players can choose to play as either the male or female version of Hawks — voiced by Jonathan Freeman and Erica Luttrell respectively — and the full squad of recruits they assemble spans eight Star Wars species, each fully voiced with distinct personalities.

The confirmed cast from the official Lucasfilm announcement at the SDCC panel:

  • Jonathan Freeman — Hawks (Male)
  • Erica Luttrell — Hawks (Female)
  • Dee Bradley Baker — Trick (CT-3301), a Clone Trooper squad member
  • Matt Lanter — Anakin Skywalker
  • Rekha Sharma — Kundri Fathom, leader of the Infinite Coil cult (main villain)
  • JB Blanc — Kabb Uppercut
  • Judy Alice Lee — Jae Mordant
  • Vic Michaelis — Runa Blask
  • Nicole Rainteau — Tel-Rea Vokoss
  • Alex McKenna — Cly Kullervo
  • Jason Spisak — Luco Bronc
  • Jim Pirri — Neesh Renark
  • Dylan Kenin — Visser
  • Leo Howard — Bennic Halloren
  • DC Douglas — M-3VO (“Meevo”), the squad’s droid
  • Hunter Smith — Typhon

A few standouts: Dee Bradley Baker reprising Clone Trooper duty in a named, story-relevant role is the fan-service play Clone Wars fans will appreciate. Matt Lanter returning as Anakin means there is at least one Jedi cameo in the story. And DC Douglas — best known as Albert Wesker in Resident Evil — voicing a droid called Meevo is precisely the unexpected casting choice that makes a character roster interesting.

What Kind of Game Is Zero Company?

Bit Reactor is a studio founded by Firaxis veterans, and Zero Company is their take on the turn-based tactics genre with a Star Wars skin that goes much deeper than cosmetic. This is not a squad-shooter — it is a game in the XCOM mould: you control Hawks and up to three squad mates on tile-based maps, manage action points, use cover, and chain ability combos that unlock the longer your squad members bond with each other.

Between missions you operate from The Den, a base that levels up, where you run intelligence operations and deepen bonds between squad members to unlock synergy abilities in the field. The story is an original Clone Wars-era narrative: Hawks is a disgraced Republic officer who assembles an unconventional crew — mercenaries, specialists, and the odd morally-grey droid — to hunt Kundri Fathom’s Infinite Coil separatist cult across the galaxy.

Platforms, Pricing and Singapore Availability

Star Wars: Zero Company launches 27 August 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and the EA App). It is published by EA under the Lucasfilm Games label, which means it should land in Singapore without region restrictions — check the Singapore PlayStation Store and Steam at launch for SGD pricing. A Deluxe Edition with additional content is also available for pre-order.

If you enjoy turn-based tactics with strong narrative and character writing, this one is worth watching closely — the team’s XCOM pedigree and the Clone Wars setting make it a combination that is hard to dismiss. Explore more upcoming games for Singapore.

Marvel’s Wolverine SDCC Story Trailer: Sabretooth Alliance, Mr. Sinister and a Free Tōkon Suit

Insomniac Games took the Hall H stage at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 last night and dropped the Marvel’s Wolverine story trailer — a far meatier cut than the “Ain’t No Hero” cinematic we covered last week. The new footage pulls back the curtain on Logan’s full enemy roster, confirms his voice actor for the first time, and reveals a free cross-suit for Singapore’s Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls players. September 15 on PS5 is getting very close.

The Story: Sinister Pulls the Strings, Sabretooth Rides Shotgun

The story trailer positions Mr. Sinister — hinted via an SDCC prequel Infinity Comic written by narrative director Walt Williams — as the true puppet-master behind the game’s mutant-kidnapping plot. Logan’s voiceover sets the tone early: “I’ve lived long enough. It’s all started to blur together… When that’s gone, there won’t be anything left. Except rage.” as quoted in PlayStation Blog’s SDCC recap.

The trailer also reframes Sabretooth as a reluctant partner alongside Logan rather than a straightforward villain — a dynamic that will be familiar to comics fans who know how complicated that relationship gets. Lady Deathstrike and The Hand (that army of red-hooded ninja visible in the key art) fill the role of primary cannon fodder, while Omega Red lurks in the background. The Japanese setting of Tokyo confirms one stop on Logan’s globe-spanning rescue mission through Canada, Japan and Madripoor.

Voice Cast and Composer Officially Confirmed

The “Deep Cuts: Marvel’s Wolverine” panel at SDCC introduced the creative team on stage, giving us the first official confirmation of who voices the main cast. Liam McIntyre (known internationally for Spartacus and The Flash) plays Logan, while Krizia Bajos voices Jean Grey, whose telekinetic moves feed into Logan’s Critical Strikes combat system, as revealed in earlier gameplay trailers.

Also confirmed: Emmy Award-winning composer David Fleming scores the game’s soundtrack, with music that “dynamically shifts alongside Logan’s intense journey” according to PlayStation Blog. The full soundtrack — titled Logan — releases August 28, a full two and a half weeks ahead of the game itself.

The Prequel Comic and New Official Art

Williams’ digital prequel Infinity Comic — teased at the SDCC panel — is designed to flesh out Logan’s history with Team X and the broader Sinister plot before the game launches. Insomniac paired it with a classic-style prequel comic cover illustrated in Marvel’s traditional house style, hinting at the Infinity Castle ambitions the story is shooting for.

Free Tōkon Suit for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Players

Here’s the one for Singapore fans playing the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls open beta right now: Insomniac confirmed a cross-promotion suit called the “Battle Reborn” costume, inspired by Wolverine’s in-game design in the ArcSys fighter. Any Tōkon player gets the suit free in Marvel’s Wolverine from September 1 — a full two weeks before the game even launches.

The suit has an anime-flat-shaded look that sits distinctly apart from the game’s main photorealistic aesthetic — exactly the kind of bonus that rewards players who keep up with both titles. No separate steps needed; just play Tōkon before September 1 and the costume carries over.

SG Pricing and How to Pre-Order

Marvel’s Wolverine is a PS5 exclusive launching September 15, 2026. On the Singapore PlayStation Store, the Standard Edition is listed at SGD 89.90 and the Digital Deluxe Edition at SGD 99.90. Both editions are available to pre-order now; Insomniac has not detailed what the Digital Deluxe bonus content includes beyond the game itself, so check the store listing for the latest.

Physical retail availability in Singapore has not been confirmed at the time of writing — check major game retailers and electronics chains for local disc copies closer to launch.

New Gundam Anime Drops at SDCC — ROGUE ORBIT Revealed, Watch Live at 2AM SGT

If you have been waiting for something big from Bandai Namco on the Gundam front, this is the week it starts. The company has announced a “GUNDAM Showcase 2026 — Unveil the Next Gundam” panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, set for 23 July (Thursday, 10:30–11:30 AM Pacific Time), at which special guests from Japan will reveal a brand-new Gundam anime series and lay out where the franchise is headed next — for both domestic Japan and international markets. The entire panel will be simulcast on the official Gundam YouTube channel at 3:00 AM JST on July 24, which works out to 2:00 AM SGT for Singapore fans willing to stay up for it.

GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT — The New Action Game Coming in 2027

Arriving alongside the SDCC announcement is GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, a high-mobility mecha action game developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It launches in 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam — and will be playable for the first time in public at the SDCC booth this week.

ROGUE ORBIT introduces a new timeline in the Gundam saga, positioning itself as both a perfect entry point for players new to the franchise and a meaningful new chapter for long-time fans. You pilot the Helix Gundam as a soldier fighting on behalf of humanity against a powerful, unnamed threat — the kind of clean, self-contained setup that signals Bandai Namco wants ROGUE ORBIT to travel well internationally, not just in Japan. The gameplay emphasis is on fast, kinetic movement and hard-hitting combat; early footage shows fluid aerial manoeuvring and explosive mobile suit clashes that lean more action game than simulator.

A Brand-New Gundam Anime — Everything Still to Be Revealed

The bigger piece of news — bigger even than the game — is the new anime series that Bandai Namco Filmworks will reveal at the SDCC panel. No title, no plot details, and no key visual have been released ahead of the event; the announcement was deliberately structured so the reveal lands live at SDCC and simultaneously on YouTube. What we do know is that Japanese staff will take the stage alongside the international announcement, and that the broadcast will cover the franchise’s direction for both the domestic Japan and global markets — suggesting this is not a Japan-only production.

Gundam has been in a genuinely interesting transitional moment. The Witch from Mercury (2022–23) was the first Gundam series in a decade to break through to a mainstream anime audience beyond the core mecha fanbase, and the upcoming ROGUE ORBIT signals that Bandai wants that momentum to carry into games. A new anime that follows The Witch from Mercury’s playbook of international co-production and global streaming would be a significant statement.

The SDCC panel runs on Thursday, 23 July at 10:30 AM Pacific Time, but the YouTube simulcast premieres at 3:00 AM JST (2:00 AM SGT) on 24 July. An archive replay will be available after the broadcast, so you are not forced to choose between sleep and the reveal — but the Gundam community is extremely active online, and major spoilers will be everywhere within minutes. If you want the uncut first look, 2AM on a Friday is your window.

For more game news and upcoming releases, keep an eye on our news section. The SDCC panel is less than two weeks away and this is shaping up to be one of the more interesting Gundam reveals in a while.
