A new Star Wars: Galactic Racer trailer was unveiled during Summer Game Fest, showcasing the return of podracing along with a new location and story details. While it was briefly teased in the last gameplay trailer, podracing is at the centre of the latest showcase. Based on the high-speed sport seen in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, these chariot-esque craft were a staple of the previous Star Wars Racer games. Alongside podracers, Galactic Racer introduces a variety of vehicle classes from the Star Wars universe, from speeder bikes to landspeeders. An older Sebulba, the villainous dug creature who was Anakin Skywalker’s arch rival in The Phantom Menace, is seen piloting his iconic orange podracer from the film. We also get a first look at podracing in other locations beyond the Mos Espa Circuit seen in the last gameplay trailer, including the returning Ando Prime snow planet from the original Episode 1: Racer. Developer Fuse Games is made up of former Criterion developers who worked on the Burnout games, and its influence can be seen in Galactic Racer’s aggressive, combat-focused racing with Burnout-style takedowns.
