Don’t worry, podracing fans. While Star Wars: Galactic Race »The first trailer didn’t feature any podracers, the iconic fast-moving space tanks will be part of the full game.
Announced last year at The Game Awards, Star Wars: Galactic Runner is an upcoming racing game set in that galaxy far, far away. Galactic Runner is developed by some elders Professional burnout the developers of Fuse Games, a new studio created in 2023. The game looks awesome and features Sebulba at the very end of its trailer. However, there wasn’t a single podracing vehicle in this first teaser, making fans like me worry that we wouldn’t be able to recreate the best part of 1999. The Phantom Menace, aka the poracing scene. Fortunately, there will indeed be podracers in Galactic runner.
In a recent interview with GamesRadar, Fuse Games CEO and co-founder Matt Webster told the outlet that yes, of course, podracing would be part of the studio’s agenda. Star Wars racing game.
“We can’t really make a Star Wars racing experience and not having podracing, right? Webster said. “The main fantasy of the game is to become an elite racing driver in the Galactic League, and poracing is the pinnacle of speed and racing in the Galactic League. Star Wars galaxy.”
“However, when we decided to create Galactic runner, We wanted to do more: leverage multiple vehicle types and multiple expressions of speed to give players a wide range of experiences. Galactic Runner offers players the opportunity to pilot vehicles they know and love, as well as vehicles they’ve never experienced before, across a range of single and multiplayer modes.
More good news: Galactic Runner will feature the ability to drive in first person, what is my favorite way to play podracing games. Now I just need Webster or someone else at Fuse Games to confirm the Boonta Eve Classic racing course featured in previous poracing games, like Star Wars Runner’s Revenge, will be playable in Galactic Runnerand I’ll be a happy wookkiee when the game arrives on consoles and PC later this year.
