I think it makes for a much richer racing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">That approach could make Galactic Racer considerably different from the Star Wars racing games that inspired it while retaining the fantasy of high-speed competition in a galaxy far, far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">With previous Star Wars experience behind the development team and Crimmins finally getting an opportunity to build a game he has envisioned for two decades, Fuse Games certainly isn&#8217;t lacking ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on October 6.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Are you excited for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and do you like the idea of combining Star Wars racing with roguelite progression?
