The 15 Best Games to Play After 'Star Fox'
Fuse Games says the campaign uses a runs-based structure with 300-plus parts and 12-player online races to add replayability and consequence.
- Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches October 6, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, bringing arcade-style racing back to the Star Wars franchise with a runs-based campaign structure from developer Fuse Games.
- Fuse, founded by Burnout and Need for Speed veterans, aims to revitalize the future-racing genre, which has lacked dedicated Star Wars entries for over 20 years. This collaboration with Lucasfilm Games combines arcade mechanics with high-stakes roguelite progression.
- Players navigate the campaign as Shade, a pilot in the Galactic League, managing resources like League Tokens to progress. The game offers four distinct vehicle types—landspeeders, speeder bikes, skim speeders, and podracers—each with different handling styles and quirks.
- Between races, pilots explore paddocks to talk to NPCs and customize their rides with over 300 parts. Creative Director Kieran Crimmins says 'consequential decision-making' is integral to the campaign, requiring balance between performance upgrades and environmental effects.
- Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster notes the roguelite loop aims to make every decision and race matter, offering 'unbelievable depth' with trillions of possible part combinations and randomized campaign nodes for replayability.
