Star Wars: Galactic Racer previewed as high‑speed roguelite racer

Lucasfilm and Disney have announced a new Star Wars video game, *Star Wars: Galactic Racer*, developed by Fuse Games. The collaboration brings together veteran developers from the acclaimed Burnout series. Players assume the role of Shade, a semi‑willing participant in the Outer Rim’s illegal racing circuit, competing in speeder bikes, landspeeders and podracers. The game uses a roguelite loop: racers must earn a League Token to enter, and losing it in an Eliminator race—where the last‑place driver is eliminated each lap—forces a restart, though previously unlocked upgrades carry over.

Both previews highlight the game’s fast‑paced arcade feel and Burnout‑style takedowns, complete with the series‑signature slow‑motion camera angle. Customisation lets players modify their avatar and vehicles with cosmetic items and gameplay‑affecting abilities earned through wins. Reviewers note the blend of familiar Burnout mechanics with a Star Wars setting creates an “absolute blast” and a solid addition to Disney’s growing portfolio of licensed games.
