“The Galaxy needs racing!” Check out this first look trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer launching to play in 2026. Sometimes we break our own rules and post trailers for video games – this new one also comes from The Game Awards. When I was growing up, I was a huge fan of the N64 game Star Wars Episode I: Racer, featuring pod racing from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (both released the same year in 1999). So I will admit that I am kinda excited to see that 27 years later they’re bringing back racing to the Star Wars universe with this brand new game arriving next year. Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy. The campaign is set in the New Republic Era and takes place on the desert planet Jakku as seen in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, The Galactic League is formed: an underground, unsanctioned circuit where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged. This looks like it’s going to be plenty of fun to play – maybe there will even be a podrace in it somewhere as hinted at with the final shot.
Here’s the first official trailer for Fuse Games’s game Star Wars: Galactic Racer, from YouTube:
“No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.” Lucasfilm Games’ Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the Outer Rim. With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, The Galactic League is created: an underground, unsanctioned circuit where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged. 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. Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a racing video game created & developed by Fuse Games; published by Secret Mode and Lucasfilm Games. The game will be available for PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S when it launches sometimes in 2026. Stay tuned for updates.
