Here’s a new look at Star Wars Galactic Racer ahead of October launch

Now this is podracing!

We got a new look at Star Wars Galactic Racer at Summer Game Fest, ahead of the game’s October launch.

“Star Wars Galactic Racer invites elite pilots to join the Galactic League, an underground racing league born in the lawless Outer Rim, established by racing enthusiast Darius Pax,” Fuse Games and Secret Mode said of the title.

“But while Pax may have founded the League, underhanded and well-connected racer Kestar Bool has become its champion, and will stop at nothing to maintain his grip on the title. With nowhere else to turn, Pax recruits Shade, a lone racer with a personal grudge against the Bool family, to enter the Galactic League and bring an end to Kestar’s reign before his corruption grows too deep to remove.”

“To prove their worth in the Galactic League, pilots will engage in a series of challenges designed to test their skills. The runs-based campaign sees players carving their own path through the League, choosing between different events as they progress with unique unlocks and new challenges at every turn,” the pair continued.

“There’s no turning back once an event is chosen, and if a pilot crashes too many times, they wreck out of the tour and will need to regroup, rebuild and begin again. Only certain perks and unlocks earned in previous attempts are carried over to the next run. Racers will start each tour from scratch with new decisions and choices to make for another chance to take down league champion Kestar Bool.”

Expect Star Wars Galactic Racer from 6 October on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
