Star Wars Galactic Racer Trailer Debuts at State of Play

A new gameplay trailer for Star Wars Galactic Racer, an upcoming high-speed racing game set in the Star Wars universe, debuted during Sony's recent State of Play presentation, showcasing intense races across diverse planetary landscapes. Developed by UK-based Fuse Games and published by Secret Mode, the title revives the podracing excitement from the franchise's prequel era, with a release planned for 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The game places players in the New Republic Era, following the events of Return of the Jedi, within the unsanctioned Galactic League, an illegal racing circuit in the Outer Rim. Players control Shade, a determined racer driven by a personal grudge against Kestar Bool, a dominant figure backed by underworld connections and ruthless tactics. The narrative unfolds through an immersive single-player campaign featuring branching paths that allow customization of vehicles with new parts, tools, and upgrades. Cutscenes integrate story elements, such as defeated pilots lashing out at Pit Droids or issuing threats of Carbonite freezing, adding tension to the high-stakes competition.
