Anyone with fond memories of PS1 classic Star Wars Episode 1: Racer will want to keep their eye on the newly-revealed Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a new racing title for PS5 that's releasing next year. Catch the reveal trailer above.
In this all-new entry, you'll be racing across familiar locations like Jakku and Ando Prime, using landspeeders and bikes. With the tease of Sebulba right at the end of the trailer, there's probably going to be some podracing too.
It's being developed by Fuse Games, which is a new studio formed out of ex-Criterion staff. On the Star Wars website, Lucasfilm Games executive Douglas Reilly said the new team proposed the idea to the company, and it was seen as a "no-brainer" to proceed. "I can't think of any other studio better suited to bring Star Wars racing back to our fans."

This was my, "who wanted this?" moment of the TGAs
This is looking good.
I would rather a new Wipeout or F Zero game but this might fill the void.
@charbtronic ...quickly followed by, "brilliant, can't wait to play", right?
@charbtronic Me, I wanted this.
Now THIS is podracing
@Ooccoo_Jr @jacko11 to each their own I guess.
I'd hold my breath. I can see this one being shallow at launch and if unsupported fall off.
This will be great if done right! I’ve wanted a full remake for episode 1 racer form the n64 for ages, can’t beat arcade style racing games
VR2 option please 😬!
@charbtronic Me
Any word on VR for this? Something like this game would finally make me break down and buy a PSVR2.
@GeeEssEff I think we'd all prefer a new Wipeout but Sony seems to have lost the knack ever since dissolving Studio Liverpool.
Looks great! F zero, Episode 1 racer, EGX, used to love all those games! I want this.
@charbtronic Me
@charbtronic Maybe you are too young to remember Episode 1 Racer back on the N64, that game was awesome.
My wife and I got married in 1999, and we used to play Podracer or Mario Kart on the N64 to determine who would do the dishes etc. Most fun decision making tool ever!
We won’t need this game for that-it is now clearly me (or the kids!). 😃
Get in. Used to love pod racing on N64.
Can’t wait for this
