About the game

"Star Wars: Galactic Racer" gives players the chance to compete in the Galactic League, an unauthorized racing circuit that emerged in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars universe. Players take on the role of the mysterious pilot Shade in an immersive single-player campaign where alliances are forged, rivalries are sparked, and old grudges are settled. The game lets players customize their vehicles and experiment with different build strategies across three unique repulsorcraft styles.

In "Star Wars: Galactic Racer," players can also race legendary vehicles such as landspeeders and podracers. With online racing against other players also on offer, this game looks set to meet the expectations of racing fans and Star Wars enthusiasts alike.

Several editions of the game are available for pre-order, each with unique benefits:

• Standard edition: Available for $59.99, includes the base game.
• Deluxe edition: Priced at $79.99, includes three bonus vehicles: the Kor Sarun: Ciza T speeder bike, the Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder, and the Kor Sarun: Rak S skim speeder. This edition also includes extra events and vehicle designs.

Storyline

The story of "Star Wars: Galactic Racer" follows Shade, who dreams of glory and revenge. Although the game is set in the Star Wars universe, it does not feature the Force or lightsabers. Sebulba, a familiar figure from the franchise, is also teased for the upcoming game. This gives the game a strong connection to the series' iconic racing heritage.

With a story that takes players through races across the Star Wars universe, developers and fans expect "Star Wars: Galactic Racer" to be a fresh addition to the franchise. Alongside its high-speed gameplay, the game also promises a deep narrative that expands the Star Wars world even further.

When it launches on October 6, 2026, players will be able to test their skills in intense racing or jump into multiplayer modes to prove their worth in the Galactic League.
