In case you missed it, there’s a new Star Wars racing game coming this year! Developed by Fuse Games, here’s a fresh look at Star Wars: Galactic Racer gameplay, along with some new story details.

Now THIS is Podracing

New story details (via Press release)

“Play as Shade in an immersive campaign, choosing from a branching path of events to earn parts, tools and upgrades that will give you an edge in the championship. Try out new build strategies in different repulsorcraft – landspeeders, skim speeders, speeder bikes, and, of course, podracers – and work with mechanic Hibi to build the ultimate vehicle to suit your racing style. Race, adapt, and master new strategies as you forge alliances and takedown rivals on your path to becoming champion of the Galactic League.

Experience your own Star Wars racing adventure across a multitude of modes. Take your talents online, with up to 12 racers battling for supremacy in hard-fought races across multiple game modes where only the fastest prevail. Dive into instant action in the Arcade mode, where time trials and precision driving await those looking to secure their legacy on the leaderboards. And explore the Scenarios mode, where you’ll race under unique conditions ranging from practice runs on new tracks to hardcore races that will push your piloting skills to the limit. Look out for more details on each mode as Star Wars: Galactic Racer speeds towards release.”

This looks really good! Definitely seeing a lot of Star Wars Episode I: Racer (video game) as well as plenty of Wipeout influence. Fuse Games, the studio helming the project, was founded by former Criterion co-founders and lead developers, so if there’s anyone who knows how to make a good racing game, it’s them. 

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is scheduled to launch in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
