Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Unleashing High-Speed Combat in the Outer Rim (2026)

Drops Received Official Information. Star Wars: Galactic Racer, developed by Fuse Games and published by Secret Mode in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, is scheduled for release in 2026 on PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This marks the debut title from Fuse Games as a AAA developer. Galactic Racer is set within the Galactic League, an unsanctioned racing circuit born in the lawless Outer Rim, where the best pilots from across the galaxy compete. Galactic Racer introduces two main characters: Shade, a pilot seeking glory and revenge, and Kestar, a rival with ambitious plans for the League. Players can pilot different classes of repulsorcraft, each offering unique physics and playstyles, across new and iconic Star Wars planets, where branching routes and varied environments ensure diverse racing experiences. The game features a story-driven campaign, competitive multiplayer, and strategic PvP battles. Customization options and unlockable abilities will also be available. The game’s tagline is: "No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise." According to the initial announcement by TheLostSwede on a dedicated forum, Fuse Games, led by former Criterion Games general manager Matt Webster, began developing Galactic Racer in 2023.

Star Wars Galactic Racer: Adventurous Space Racing with Strategic Pursuits

In the game, players will join the Galactic League and pilot various repulsorcraft, using skill and strategy to win. Forming alliances, mastering routes, and selecting the right vehicles will be crucial. The single-player campaign will follow Shade's journey as he forms alliances, overcomes rivals, and strives to become an elite pilot. The multiplayer mode will offer strategic PvP battles. As seen in the game's promotional materials, locations such as Jakku and Ando Prime will be featured, and some fans speculate that Sebulba may also play a role. Matt Webster, CEO of Fuse Games, said, "Since the beginning, Star Wars has drawn inspiration from racing culture, from pod races to highspeed pursuits across the galaxy... With Star Wars: Galactic Racer, we want to reinvent what a racing game can be: adventurous, spectacular, and exhilarating. We aim for each race to feel vibrant, with dynamic riskreward choices, and for every victory to be incredible." Douglas Reilly, vice president and general manager at Lucasfilm Games, added, "With Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the Fuse Games team has captured that spirit and elevated it to a completely new form of racing adventure. We can hardly wait for fans to experience it."

Star Wars: Galactic Racer - A Racing Adventure with Secret Mode and Lucasfilm Games

James Schall, publishing director at Secret Mode, stated, "Star Wars: Galactic Racer is precisely the kind of bold and innovative experience Secret Mode was founded to support. Fuse Games is creating something that truly defines the genre: a racing adventure with depth, drama, and identity. Were proud to be their partners and collaborate with Lucasfilm Games to bring this vision to players worldwide." In other entertainment news: 1.
