A new Star Wars racing game, Galactic Racer, is set to launch in 2026, shifting focus from Jedi knights to high-speed vehicular combat. Developed by Fuse Games, a studio comprised of experienced developers from franchises like Burnout and Need for Speed, this title promises an adrenaline-fueled experience. The game's premise is set in a galaxy rebuilding after the fall of the Empire, with underground races in the Outer Rim offering immense rewards.
In Galactic Racer, races are dynamic and unforgiving, adopting a 'run-based' format where a destroyed vehicle signifies the end of a player's race. This adds a layer of intense strategy and risk to every competition. Players step into the role of racers, such as the ambitious "Shade," driven by dreams of glory and revenge, striving to become elite pilots.
Players will navigate diverse worlds with customizable vehicles, each offering unique handling characteristics. As racers progress and win, they can upgrade their rides to suit their playstyle, unlocking new races and opportunities across the galaxy. Galactic Racer will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
