"The combinations are in the trillions": Star Wars Galactic Racer’s creative director on speeder specialisation, storycrafting, and having “a bit of a smash”

Star Wars: Galactic Racer – The First Preview
Not only were my fears of the roguelite loop unfounded, but the Burnout roots baked into developer Fuse Games’s DNA was joyously evident in every moment I spent on the track with Star Wars: Galactic Racer. And the times I wasn’t going hundreds of miles per hour when I was on foot did a great job of further Star Wars-ifying my experience. I’m incredibly optimistic about what I’ve seen from this long overdue spiritual successor to Episode 1: Pod Racer, and I can’t wait to play more of it.
