Star Wars Zero Company Romance Options: Are There Any?
Short answer
There are no romance options in Star Wars Zero Company. The development team confirmed before launch that the game ships without romance mechanics and without a branching narrative. If you came from RPGs like Mass Effect or Baldur’s Gate 3 expecting relationship systems, this game deliberately does not offer them.
Why there are no romances
The developers framed the decision in terms of genre identity. Zero Company is built as an XCOM-style tactics game, not a companion-driven RPG. In the team’s words: “This is still a turn-based tactics game at its heart.” The design budget went into tactical systems — squads, classes, permadeath, difficulty — rather than relationship mechanics.
The same confirmation covered branching: the story is linear, so there are no romance-shaped choices to make even in principle.
What exists instead
Character moments do exist in the campaign — the story invests in Zero Company as a crew of misfits and in Hawks’ arc from dismissed clone captain to company founder — but those relationships serve the war story. They are not romance routes, and they do not branch based on player decisions.
If you care about crew dynamics rather than romance, the story still delivers on that; the story explainer covers the setup without spoilers.
Could romance come later?
No romance content is planned at launch, and the developers have not announced narrative DLC either. The same launch coverage noted there are no DLC or New Game Plus plans confirmed. Future updates could theoretically add anything, but nothing announced points toward romance systems.
