Announced at the 2025 Game Awards, “Star Wars: Galactic Racer” is the latest title from Fuse and Lucasfilm Games, scheduled for release in 2026.
One of the most exciting moments in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” was the podracing scene on Tatooine. Later, we were able to re-live this excitement with friends in the LucasArts game, “Star Wars Episode I: Racer.” Now, Galactic Racer, promises a new racing adventure with a wide array of speeders—including speeder bikes!
This instantly reminds me of my tabletop days with West End Games’ “Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game,” where my favorite character was a “Swoop Bike racer.” The Swoop Bike, essentially the “Harley” of speeder bikes, and that was also seen in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett, was originally developed for the game by my good friend Wayne. I can’t wait to reunite the racing gang when the new game launches!
“The Empire’s grip on the galaxy has finally broken, and with its fall comes a new obsession: speed. As the New Republic struggles to rebuild – gambling, entertainment, and glory fuel a booming underground. Out of this chaos, the Galactic League is born: an unsanctioned racing circuit where syndicates sponsor pilots, fortunes are won and lost in seconds, and only the bold survive.
At the heart of it all is Shade, a lone racer with a dream of glory and revenge. For Shade, the League isn’t just a race; it’s a shot at reclaiming destiny. But standing in Shade’s way is Kestar, a ruthless rival who has his own power-hungry plans for the League.
As the Galactic League rises, so does the rivalry that could define it. Shade must forge alliances, outpace rivals, and survive long enough to become an elite racing pilot.
Speed across new and iconic Star Wars planets, with every world hosting a new kind of chaos. It’s not enough to be fast, you have to know your circuits: branching routes, varied environments, and dynamic risk-reward choices ensure no two runs play the same. Select from multiple repulsorcraft classes, each with distinct handling and tactical advantages. Customize your build, unlock new abilities on every run, and master brutal takedowns.
Choose which events to conquer as you race through a dynamic campaign of speed, sabotage, and survival, or battle rivals for supremacy in competitive multiplayer.
No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.”
