New Star Wars Racing Gauntlet.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer Unveils Derven Acos Campaign During Summer Game Fest.
Anonymous
Star Wars: Galactic Racer, shown during Summer Game Fest 2026, puts players in an underground Outer Rim racing circuit called the Galactic League that’s been effectively taken over by well-connected champion Kestar Bool. League founder Darius Pax recruits Shade, a lone racer with a personal grudge against the Bool family, setting up the campaign’s central rivalry and the goal of reclaiming control before Bool’s corruption deepens. The single-player runs-based structure has branching choices with no backing out once an event is selected, and crashes can end a tour while only certain perks/unlocks carry forward to the next run, creating a risk-reward loop. Between races, a social paddock hub and mechanic Hibi support vehicle customization, including upgrading different repulsorcraft and builds to match each racer’s style. A newly revealed destination, Derven Acos, is positioned as a brutal gauntlet combining multiple planetary hazards, alongside more podracing beyond classic circuits. The game launches October 6, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Standard and Deluxe editions (including a collector’s option).
