During The Game Awards, developers unveiled Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a new racing game set in the Star Wars universe. The title, created by Fuse Games, focuses on high-stakes podracing and speeder races across diverse planets. It is scheduled to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC next year.
Announcement at The Game Awards
Star Wars enthusiasts were treated to an exciting reveal at The Game Awards with the introduction of Star Wars: Galactic Racer. Developed by Fuse Games—a team composed of experienced creators from the Burnout and Need for Speed series—the game promises thrilling vehicular combat and racing mechanics inspired by the franchise's podracing legacy.
Setting and Narrative
The story unfolds in the Outer Rim territories after the Empire's collapse, as the galaxy begins to rebuild. In this chaotic period, an illegal racing league known as the Galactic League rises, drawing in syndicates funding high-risk competitions where racers battle for supremacy. Players will navigate this underground circuit, forging their path amid interstellar turmoil.
Gameplay Features
Galactic Racer adopts a run-based format, where a single vehicle crash can end a session abruptly, heightening the tension of each race. Tracks span familiar Star Wars worlds and brand-new locations, offering branching paths that demand quick decisions. As players progress, they unlock abilities to enhance performance and survival odds.
The experience includes a narrative-focused single-player mode that drives the campaign forward, complemented by competitive PvP options for multiplayer showdowns. Vehicle customization allows for personalization, letting racers tweak their speeders or podracers to suit different strategies.
This announcement marks another expansion of Star Wars gaming content, blending action-packed racing with the series' rich lore.
