Say what you want about Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, but one of the absolute KOOLest things it introduced to the galaxy was the high-octane sport of podracing.
Over the years, we’ve been treated to a few gaming iterations of the sport, most notably the beloved 1999 classic Star Wars Episode I: Racer. But the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer looks light-years beyond anything we have ever seen before.
The graphics look incredibly crisp, the sense of speed is dizzying, and the engine roars are enough to rattle your teeth. It completely captures the dangerous, fast-paced thrill of the Boonta Eve Classic but with modern, next-gen power.
Check out the stunning debut trailer below to see the action for yourself.
You won’t have to wait too long to start tuning your hyperdrive, either. Star Wars: Galactic Racer officially speeds onto PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 6th.
