Darius Pax may have founded the Galactic League, but Kestar Bool dominates it. As talented as he is villainous, Kestar uses his position as League Champion to threaten other pilots and extend his powerful reach even further.
In a bid to retain control over his racing league, Darius Pax enlists the help of Shade, a mysterious pilot with a personal grudge against the Bool family. With the help of the energetic engineer Hibi and a certain legendary podracer, Shade's sights are set on unseating the corrupt reigning champion.
Embark on a Star Wars™ adventure unlike any other and experience a rivalry that will define the course of the Galactic League.
Check out the Star Wars: Galactic Racer™ story trailer, unveiled today during Summer Game Fest.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is high-stakes, runs-based racing born in the lawless Outer Rim. To prove their worth in the Galactic League, pilots will have to engage in a series of challenges designed to test their skills and excite the audience.
The runs-based story campaign sees players carving their own path through the League, choosing between different events as they progress with unique unlocks and new challenges at every turn. There’s no turning back once an event is chosen. If a pilot crashes too many times, they wreck out of the tour and will need to regroup, rebuild, and begin again. Only certain perks and unlocks earned in previous attempts are carried over to the next run. Racers will start each tour fresh with new decisions and choices to make for another chance to take down league champion Kestar Bool.
Kestar and Shade may be the main characters in the campaign, but there are many other pilots vying for the top spot. In the trailer, Shade can be seen exploring the paddock, where fellow racers congregate to share stories, throw down challenges, and even provide support. Each planet’s paddock features the mechanic - Hibi - and her unique workshop. Here, Shade can fit new parts either earned or bought from Hibi herself, offering stat boosts and abilities to support each players’ racing style as they prepare for races across the circuit.
This will help prepare Shade for the ultimate test in the Galactic League: the newly revealed location of Derven Acos, a custom-built arena designed specifically for the racing league. Derven Acos features every planetary condition that racers will have encountered throughout the tour, all combined into a mighty gauntlet that will push a pilot’s skills to the limit. Racers will need nerves of steel and a well-tuned build for the showpiece events of the Galactic League.
The story trailer also includes a first look at the iconic podracers being piloted outside of the Mos Espa Circuit. In addition to discovering the part podracing plays in the singleplayer campaign, eager pilots can choose to jump straight into podracing as soon as they start playing through the Arcade mode and will get to experience unique podracer focused online multiplayer events for the very first time.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be launching worldwide on October 6th and is available to pre-order today.
