1 – Star Wars Zero Company
Holding the top spot on my wishlist for the best turn-based strategy games is the game I’m most excited about of all: Star Wars: Zero Company. If you know anything about me, it is the fact that I love Star Wars, and for years, I have been saying that a small-scale turn-based strategy game based on the Star Wars Universe would be perfect. In a franchise where there are hundreds of speciality troops (Clones and Stormtroopers), Jedis with special abilities, and a lot of alien races, it’s just a perfect fit. Better yet, Star Wars: Zero Company is being developed by a team that includes veterans of the legendary XCOM series. This game is a single-player, narrative-driven experience set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. It promises XCOM-inspired tactical gameplay with a gritty, authentic story and a diverse, customizable squad. With a team that has a proven track record, this is the tactical Star Wars game fans have been dreaming of.
Turn-Based Strategy Games Will Dominate 2025 and 2026

Whether you’re a fan of deep, story-rich CRPGs, punishing roguelikes, or expansive 4X titles, there’s a game on this list for you. From the return of iconic franchises like Heroes of Might and Magic to the debut of exciting new IPs like Star Wars: Zero Company, the future of the genre is brighter than ever. While we’ve highlighted ten of the most promising titles, the landscape is always evolving.
