Don’t fear, podracing followers. Whereas Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s debut trailer didn’t function any podracers, the long-lasting fast-moving area chariots might be part of the total recreation.
Announced last year at the Game Awards, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is an upcoming racing recreation set in that galaxy far, far-off. Galactic Racer is being developed by some former Burnout devs at Fuse Video games, a new studio created in 2023. The sport appears superior and options Sebulba on the very finish of its teaser trailer. Nevertheless, there was not a single podracing automobile to be seen in that first teaser, which had followers like me anxious that we wouldn’t get to recreate the most effective a part of 1999’s The Phantom Menace, aka the podracing scene. Fortunately, there’ll certainly be podracers in Galactic Racer.
In a recent interview with Gamesradar, Fuse Video games CEO and co-founder Matt Webster advised the outlet that sure, in fact podracing might be part of the studio’s Star Wars racing recreation.
“You can’t really make a Star Wars racing experience and not have podracing, can you?” mentioned Webster. “The core fantasy of the game is becoming an elite racing pilot in the Galactic League, and podracing is a pinnacle of speed and racing in the Star Wars galaxy.”
“However, when we set out to create Galactic Racer, we wanted to do more – to lean into multiple vehicle types and multiple expressions of speed to give players a breadth of experiences. Galactic Racer offers players the ability to pilot vehicles they know and love, alongside ones they won’t have experienced before, across a range of solo and multiplayer modes.”
Extra excellent news: Galactic Racer will function the choice to drive round in first-person, which is my preferred way to play podracing games. Now, I simply want Webster or another person at Fuse Video games to substantiate the Boonta Eve Basic race course featured in previous podracing video games, like Star Wars Racer’s Revenge, might be playable in Galactic Racer, and I’ll be a contented wookkiee when the sport arrives on consoles and PC later this yr.
