Even amidst notable layoffs at EA earlier this year, developers reassured enthusiasts in March 2024 that the project continues undisturbed and is advancing as scheduled. The forthcoming reveal is anticipated to include essential details about the game along with a possible trailer highlighting its gameplay and aesthetic appeal.

As per the official event page, the presentation will host a developer panel featuring Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment, and Lucasfilm Games. Taking place from 4:30 PM–5:30 PM local time on the Galaxy Stage, the session guarantees attendees an exclusive initial view of the new turn-based tactical adventure.
