Star Wars: Galactic Racer Devs Break Down Playable Vehicle Classes
Some are familiar, and others are completely new.
Back in June, we shared our impressions after trying out Fuse Games' Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and now, a new video unveiled at gamescom put the spotlight on the lineup of vehicles players will be able to race when the game launches this October.
