Lucasfilm revealed trailers for Star Wars Galactic Racer and Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic at The Game Awards 2025, capping a strong year for Star Wars gaming and signaling continued investment in diverse titles from racing adventures to RPGs.
The Game Awards 2025 featured major Star Wars gaming announcements, introducing two upcoming titles amid the franchise's video game resurgence following Lucasfilm Games' 2021 rebranding from LucasArts.
Star Wars Galactic Racer, developed by Fuse Games, casts players as racers navigating high-speed repulsorcraft challenges across planets like Jakku's blistering sands using speeder bikes. The teaser trailer showcased dynamic action with a nostalgic cameo from Sebulba, the podracer from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, distinguishing it from the 1999 Star Wars Episode I: Racer. A release is planned for later in 2026.
Arcanaut Studios, led by Casey Hudson (director of Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect), unveiled Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a single-player RPG offering a modern take on immersive Old Republic-era storytelling. The 90-second cinematic trailer built excitement, with Hudson stating in a StarWars.com interview: "Fate of the Old Republic represents an opportunity to explore a contemporary vision of a definitive Star Wars experience, using state-of-the-art technology and game design, and an all-new story crafted specifically to deliver on the combination of player agency and immersion in Star Wars that was at the heart of KOTOR." No firm release date was announced.
These reveals follow a busy year including the Fortnite: Galactic Battle collaboration, Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2, and Star Wars Zero Company (a turn-based tactics game) announced at Star Wars Celebration Japan, also slated for 2026. The announcements highlight Lucasfilm's strategy to diversify experiences across eras like the High Republic and Old Republic, ensuring varied interactive narratives for fans.
