We’ve already covered the upcoming Star Wars Galactic Racer pod game quite a bit since it was announced a few months ago. We know that it is a modern version of the original Star Wars Racer game, but not just a simple remaster, it is a new game with redesigned environments, probably reworked races, but if the envelope will be more beautiful, the concept remains the same. The races will be done solo against bots or in multiplayer up to 12 runners, we know that there will be Sebulba but the mystery remains intact for Anakin, probably kept in reserve to build up the hype in the coming weeks, we are especially thinking of the Summer Game Fest of 2026 which will be held from June 5 to 8 this year. The original game was fast and punchy, very fun, we expect no less from this versionStar Wars Galactic Racer.
Jusqu’à présent, Fuse Games et Secret Mode had just declared 2026 as the launch period, which, at this point, is no longer a window but a veranda…! On Steamin the space of an hour, the game page was updated and left October 6 as the date, before being updated again. In the meantime, the date of October 6 had disappeared for a return of “2026”. We suspect that the truth is not very far away, and that inevitably there was a blunder in the matrix. Still, the web has eyes and it hasn’t gone unnoticed, let’s wish the developers and/or Steam good luck in organizing the rest of the marketing campaign plan now that the date has leaked (if it’s the right one too…!). It is also a sign that the expectation and the hype are very present on this game, that the looks will be scathing, that the indulgence will be less because the engine will be Unreal Engine 5, and that Traversal Stuttering would ruin the experience of a game where fluidity will be essential to winning races.
