Sebulba will not be driving round in a land speeder in Star Wars: Galactic Racer later this 12 months
Don’t fear, podracing followers. Whereas Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s debut trailer didn’t characteristic any podracers, the long-lasting fast-moving area chariots will probably be part of the complete sport.
Introduced final 12 months on the Recreation Awards, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is an upcoming racing sport set in that galaxy far, far-off. Galactic Racer is being developed by some former Burnout devs at Fuse Video games, a brand new studio created in 2023. The sport seems 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 fearful that we wouldn’t get to recreate the very best a part of 1999’s The Phantom Menace, aka the podracing scene. Fortunately, there’ll certainly be podracers in Galactic Racer.
In a current interview with Gamesradar, Fuse Video games CEO and co-founder Matt Webster advised the outlet that sure, after all podracing will probably be part of the studio’s Star Wars racing sport.
“You’ll be able to’t actually make a Star Wars racing expertise and never have podracing, are you able to?” mentioned Webster. “The core fantasy of the sport is turning into an elite racing pilot within the Galactic League, and podracing is a pinnacle of velocity and racing within the Star Wars galaxy.”
“Nevertheless, after we got down to create Galactic Racer, we needed to do extra – to lean into a number of automobile varieties and a number of expressions of velocity to offer gamers a breadth of experiences. Galactic Racer provides gamers the power to pilot autos they know and love, alongside ones they gained’t have skilled earlier than, throughout a variety of solo and multiplayer modes.”
Extra excellent news: Galactic Racer will characteristic the choice to drive round in first-person, which is my most popular option to play podracing video games. Now, I simply want Webster or another person at Fuse Video games to verify the Boonta Eve Basic race course featured in previous podracing video games, like Star Wars Racer’s Revenge, will probably be playable in Galactic Racer, and I’ll be a contented wookkiee when the sport arrives on consoles and PC later this 12 months.
