Star Wars Galactic Racer Membuat Saya Siap Melempar Kehati-hatian Ke Airlock, Dan Sudah Diskon

Spaceships are cool. TIE Fighters, the Millennium Falcon, Y-Wings—they’re all awesome, but in reality, the on-the-ground vehicles may be some of Star Wars’ coolest inventions. Podracing is an electrifying sport that looks as dangerous as it does exciting, and speeder bikes whip around like cars without friction. Star Wars Galactic Racer is the first racing game set in the galaxy far, far away in over 20 years, and if you’re looking to get into the driver’s seat, well, you won’t want to miss out on this discount ahead of launch.

Developed by Fuse Games, which was founded by senior developers from some of the best racing games of all time—I’m talking about Burnout and Need for Speed—Star Wars Galactic Racer looks to combine the adrenaline rush of a great driving game with the fantastical beauty of the franchise’s most iconic planets. Driving around New York City? Absolutely boring when you’ve got the open plains of Tatooine welcoming you.

What makes Galactic Racer even more interesting than your typical racer is the fact that the single-player campaign looks to have gained a bigger focus than many of the largest franchises in the world. Instead of a simple loop that sees you racing increasingly faster cars around increasingly chaotic tracks, you’re more involved, having to climb through the ranks of the Galactic League. You have more freedom in choosing your vehicle, missions, tracks, and challenges, all of which can affect how the story plays out. There’s also a new type of vehicle in the Star Wars universe in the form of the skimspeeder, along with the usual customization you’d expect from a racing game.

If you’re someone who’s competitive, then Star Wars Galactic Racer also has your usual multiplayer component, with the intensity that only high-speed races can truly deliver. Up to 12 players can take on the various tracks while you rise through the multiplayer ranking system. Sadly, the Force is not on your side—you’ll just need to use sheer will and the skills you’ll eventually learn in order to dominate each planet’s tracks.

Fortunately, you don’t need to pay full price. Right now, you can pre-order Star Wars Galactic Racer for just $55.79 / £46.49 at Fanatical, giving you a tasty Yoda-sized discount ahead of launch. If you’re looking to get the full package, the Deluxe Edition of the game has a similar deal, and it nets you some extra goodies like exclusive vehicles and customization bonuses, including a unique player banner. Either way, you get some bonuses when you pre-order, too, so it’s good to be early to the starting lap.
