Fuse Games and Secret Mode have released a new trailer for upcoming racing game Star Wars: Galactic Racer during the recent State of Play showcase. Rather than spending too much time establishing the story and tone, however, the trailer gets right into the high-speed, high-stakes action. Check it out below.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer will revolve around an unsanctioned racing league in the Outer Rim, dubbed the Galactic League. At the start of the game, the Galactic League is dominated by Kestar Bool thanks to his underworld connections and underhanded tactics. The player takes on the role of Shade – a lone racer with a grudge against the Bool family – to take on Kestar.
The developers have noted that Star Wars: Galactic Racer will feature an “immersive campaign” that offers several branching paths that will allow players to unlock new parts, tools and upgrades. The vehicles will also be available in a number of different forms, from skim speeders and speeder bikes to the classical Phantom Menace-styled podracers.
On the multiplayer front, it will feature support for up to 12 racers in a single event across multiple game modes. For players that want to jump into the action quickly, there will also be an Arcade mode that focuses on time trials and precision driving, as well as a Scenarios mode that presents unique race conditions.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year. In the meantime, check out its announcement trailer from back in December.
