Announced last night at the Game Awards, get ready to grab your hydrospanners and hit the galactic racing circuit with the arrival next year of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a jet-fuelled race-based game which takes you across the galaxy from Ando Prime to Tatooine, Sentinal One to Jakku. Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox X|S, and PC, it appears we’re in for a thrilling ride, and the return of a legendary podracer from The Phantom Menace.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is filled with new characters and locations, like Sentinel One revealed in the trailer for the very first time. “It’s home to a Skakoan listening station built on a vast planetary scale with huge antennas littering the landscape,” Webster reveals. “It’s also a toxic wasteland that’s been plundered for minerals with bright yellow rivers of acid that criss-cross the dark rocky terrain. These hazards inform unique racing tactics for players as the toxic fumes will interfere with your engines.”
And beyond Jakku, the trailer promises to reunite fans with the dastardly Dug who tried to cheat his way to the Boonta Eve Classic title against Anakin Skywalker — Sebulba. “There’s so much love for Sebulba on the team and across the Star Wars community,” Webster says. “There are particular reasons why he finds his way into our trailer as well as a detail in this shot that may lead to even more questions…the answers to which we’ll have to leave to another time!”
Chesko, Sebulba. We’ll be counting down the days until our next match when Star Wars: Galactic Racer arrives.
