Star Wars racing has always had one problem. It already peaked in people’s memories. For a lot of players, the conversation begins and ends with Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Fast podracers, dangerous tracks, alien engines screaming, and Sebulba being the galaxy’s most punchable motorsport villain. It turned one sequence from The Phantom Menace into one of the most beloved Star Wars games of its era. So the big question for Star Wars: Galactic Racer is not just whether it can be fun. It is whether it can escape the ghost of podracing. Star Wars Racing Needs More Than Nostalgia The new Galactic Racer story trailer suggests the developers know the trap. Sebulba is back, and of course he is. You do not make a new Star Wars racing game and ignore the Dug-shaped menace sitting in the corner. He is the nostalgia hook. The instant recognition. The “oh, I…

Star Wars Zero Company Sounds Like More Than Just Star Wars XCOM
Calling Star Wars Zero Company “Star Wars XCOM” is useful. It is also starting to look a little too small. Yes, the upcoming Clone Wars-era tactics game clearly has the familiar ingredients: squad positioning, cover, abilities, mission planning, battlefield panic, and the terrible feeling that one bad move is about to ruin your entire evening. But the more we see of Zero Company, the more it looks like Bit Reactor and Respawn are aiming for something bigger than just “XCOM, but with clone helmets.” According to PC Gamer’s hands-on preview, the game also brings in RPG elements, squad conversations, loyalty missions, cinematic exploration, and character-driven stakes that make it feel closer to Mass Effect with turn-based combat and permadeath. That is a much more interesting pitch. The Squad Might Matter as Much as the Mission The key difference seems to be the people. Zero Company puts players in the boots…
PowerWash Simulator 2’s Star Wars Pack Finally Has a Release Date
The galaxy is filthy, and apparently the Rebellion is outsourcing. The PowerWash Simulator 2 Star Wars Pack now has a release date: July 16, 2026. The paid DLC will bring Star Wars grime, ships, locations, and deeply suspicious amounts of galactic dirt to FuturLab’s very satisfying cleaning simulator. The official Steam page for PowerWash Simulator 2: STAR WARS Pack lists the July 16 release date and confirms that the DLC requires the base game. So yes, this is real. Someone looked at Star Wars, a franchise famous for sand, grease, busted machinery, rebel hangars, Imperial metal, carbon scoring, and questionable maintenance standards, and correctly decided: this galaxy needs a pressure washer. Rebellions Are Built on Soap The Star Wars Pack is set during the events of the Original Trilogy and puts players in the role of P0-W2, a Class Five cleaning droid. According to FuturLab’s PowerWash Simulator 2 page, P0-W2…
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways Brings Back Attack of the Clones Event
The Clone War has begun again, but this time with LEGO minifig parts and tiny vehicles. LEGO Star Wars: Castaways has brought back its Attack of the Clones event for a limited time, giving Apple Arcade players another chance to unlock themed rewards inspired by Episode II. The official LEGO Star Wars: Castaways account announced the event’s return with the very appropriate Yoda line: “Begun, the Clone War has.” Players can complete missions on The Island to progress through the event and earn character parts and microfighters inspired by Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. The event is available now and runs until June 30. A Small Event, but a Fun One This is not a giant console release or a big cinematic trailer, but it is exactly the kind of small Star Wars gaming update that keeps the galaxy feeling active between the larger announcements. Castaways has always had…
Amy Hennig’s Star Wars Game Is Still Alive Under Paramount Games Studio
Amy Hennig’s mysterious Star Wars game is still alive. That alone is enough to make long-suffering Star Wars gaming fans sit up slightly straighter. The project was first announced back in 2022 as a collaboration between Skydance New Media and Lucasfilm Games, with Hennig attached to develop a narrative-driven action-adventure game set in the Star Wars galaxy. Since then, actual details have been painfully scarce. Now there is finally a status update, even if it is not the trailer-drop many fans were hoping for. Paramount Skydance is launching Paramount Games Studio, a new unified games division that brings Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media together under one banner. As part of that move, Amy Hennig will serve as Creative Director of the new studio. More importantly for Star Wars fans, current reporting says Hennig’s Star Wars project is still in development. The Ghost of Ragtag Still Haunts the Conversation There…
Star Wars Zero Company Finally Shows Gameplay and Confirms August Release
Star Wars Zero Company is no longer just a promising idea hiding behind tactical buzzwords. It has gameplay now. It has a date. And it suddenly feels much more real. The new Star Wars Zero Company gameplay trailer confirms that the Clone Wars-era tactics game will launch on August 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. That also means the earlier release-date leak was right. The squad is assembling this summer. Clone Wars Tactics Finally Takes the Spotlight Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, Zero Company is a single-player turn-based tactics game set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players take control of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading Zero Company, an unconventional squad thrown into classified missions against a new dark side threat. The trailer gives the game a much clearer identity: squad positioning, battlefield choices, blaster fire, character…
Star Wars Battlefront Black Series 2-Pack Leaks With Scarif and Magma Troopers
Star Wars Battlefront may be getting a new Black Series nod, and collectors should probably start pretending they still have shelf space. A new leak points to an upcoming Star Wars: The Black Series Scarif Stormtrooper and Magma Stormtrooper 2-pack, reportedly tied to Star Wars Battlefront and expected to be a Walmart exclusive. For now, this is not an official Hasbro reveal. No preorder page, no glamour shots, no carefully staged fanstream moment. Just a leak doing what leaks do best: appearing early and making collectors refresh websites like nervous protocol droids. Battlefront Troopers Make Perfect Figure Material The choice of troopers makes sense. The Scarif Stormtrooper immediately brings Rogue One energy: beaches, bunkers, tropical Imperial arrogance, and the general feeling that the Empire built a beautiful data archive in the worst possible place. The Magma Stormtrooper, meanwhile, leans directly into the specialist-trooper fantasy that Battlefront loved so much. Harsh…
Star Wars Battlefront II Just Refused to Leave the PS4 Charts
At this point, Star Wars Battlefront II is less a video game and more a Force ghost with a player base. According to PlayStation Blog’s official May 2026 PlayStation Store top downloads, Star Wars Battlefront II was the most downloaded PS4 game in US/Canada last month. In Europe, it landed at number two, just behind Red Dead Redemption 2. For a game released back in 2017, that is absurd in the best possible way. No major new expansion. No massive relaunch. No shiny sequel announcement. Just Battlefront II climbing back into the charts like it heard someone mention Battlefront 3 and decided to make a scene. The Game That Would Not Stay Buried The modern story of Battlefront II is still one of the strangest turnarounds in Star Wars gaming. It launched under a cloud of loot box controversy, became one of the most debated games of its generation, then…
Star Wars Zero Company Release Date May Have Leaked Before Summer Game Fest
Star Wars Zero Company may have just become a lot more real. The upcoming Clone Wars-era tactics game is already set to appear at Summer Game Fest with a new gameplay trailer, but now a possible release date may have leaked ahead of the showcase. According to VGC’s report on the leaked Star Wars Zero Company release date, Dealabs insider billbil-kun claims the game is currently planned for August 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Important disclaimer before anyone starts polishing clone armor: EA has not officially confirmed that date. The official Star Wars Zero Company page still lists the game as “Coming 2026.” The Timing Is Very Convenient The timing is what makes this interesting. EA has already confirmed that a new Star Wars Zero Company gameplay trailer will be shown during Summer Game Fest on June 5. We covered that announcement in our earlier…
Star Wars Zero Company Gameplay Trailer Coming at Summer Game Fest
Star Wars gamers finally have a reason to watch Summer Game Fest with something stronger than blind hope. EA Star Wars has confirmed that a new gameplay trailer for Star Wars Zero Company will debut during Summer Game Fest on June 5 at 2pm PT. That means the upcoming tactical Star Wars game is stepping back into the spotlight, and this time the magic word is gameplay. Not a logo. Not a cinematic mood piece. Gameplay. That matters. The Clone Wars Tactics Game Gets Its Big Showcase Moment Star Wars Zero Company is the upcoming single-player turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor, developed in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. EA’s official Star Wars Zero Company page describes the game as a gritty story set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players take on the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading Zero Company, an unconventional squad…
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Delayed to June 30
The galaxy’s most dangerous property dispute has been pushed back a little. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains will now release on June 30, 2026, moving from its previously planned June 11 date. Ubisoft’s official Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains page now lists the new release date, while Gematsu has also reported the delay from June 11 to June 30. So no, this is not Battlefront 3. It is not Star Wars Jedi 3. It is not Eclipse finally crawling out of the unknown regions. It is Monopoly with lightsabers, team powers, and galactic real estate violence. And honestly, that is still news. Heroes, Villains, and Board Game Betrayal Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is Ubisoft and Behaviour Interactive’s digital Star Wars twist on the classic board game. Instead of simply moving a tiny metal shoe around a board and slowly destroying family relationships, players choose heroes or…
PlayStation State of Play Is Today, but Star Wars Fans Should Keep Expectations Sensible
PlayStation’s next State of Play airs today, and yes, Star Wars fans are allowed to look at the calendar, raise one eyebrow, and start quietly wondering. Could something Star Wars appear? Maybe. Should anyone bet the cantina tab on it? Absolutely not. Sony has confirmed that State of Play returns on June 2 with more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from studios around the world. The showcase begins at 2pm PT, 5pm ET, and 11pm CEST, with a new look at Marvel’s Wolverine kicking things off. That makes this a major gaming showcase. It does not, however, make it a guaranteed Star Wars showcase. The Jedi 3 Question Is the Obvious One The reason Star Wars fans will be watching is simple: Star Wars Jedi 3. Respawn’s next Jedi game has not been formally revealed, but it is already one of the most expected Star Wars…
Star Wars Jedi 3 Rumour Says Cal Kestis Will Be Older
Cal Kestis may be about to age into his most interesting chapter yet. A new rumour around the next Star Wars Jedi game suggests that Respawn’s third entry will feature an older Cal Kestis and another time jump after Jedi: Survivor. The claim comes from Tom Henderson on the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, with GamingBolt reporting on the rumour. For now, this is not official. EA and Respawn have not revealed the game, its title, or its timeline. But as rumours go, this one makes a lot of sense. Cal’s Story Has Always Used Time Jumps The Star Wars Jedi series has already used time jumps as a storytelling tool. Jedi: Fallen Order introduced Cal as a young survivor of Order 66, hiding on Bracca and trying very hard not to be noticed by the Empire. Jedi: Survivor then picked up five years later, showing a more worn-down, more experienced…
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways Brings Back Attack of the Clones Event
“Begun, the Clone War has.” Yes, Master Yoda is back on event-duty in LEGO Star Wars: Castaways, where the Attack of the Clones event has returned to The Island for another limited-time run. The official LEGO Star Wars: Castaways account confirmed that players can complete missions to progress through the event and earn character parts and microfighters inspired by Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones. That means more prequel-era LEGO chaos, more unlocks, and another reason to return to one of the stranger little corners of modern Star Wars gaming. The Clone War Returns to The Island LEGO Star Wars: Castaways has always been a slightly odd but charming experiment: part social hub, part action-adventure, part LEGO Star Wars toy box. Instead of simply retelling the films, it lets players build their own minifigure, explore The Island, meet other players, race microfighters, and jump into simulations inspired by…
Star Wars Galaxies Private Servers Are Suddenly Busy Again
The official Star Wars Galaxies era may be long gone, but the private server scene is having a pretty lively week. Across multiple community-run projects, March has turned into a burst of hotfixes, patch notes, and even player governance updates — a reminder that SWG is still finding new ways to stay alive in 2026. SWG Infinity Is Deep in Post-Launch Repair Mode The busiest server right now looks like SWG Infinity, which has posted a rapid string of updates tied to its recent 2.0 rollout. Its patch notes page shows Infinity 2.0.115 through 2.0.120 landing between March 19 and March 24, with fixes touching everything from tutorial flow and invisible NPCs to vehicles, pets, survey tools, crafting tools, crashes, and loot behavior. That kind of cadence tells its own story. Infinity is clearly still in stabilization mode after a major update, but it is also moving fast. The latest…
Star Wars: Galactic Racer Isn’t Just Podracing — Devs Open Up About Customization and Development Hurdles
If you were expecting Star Wars: Galactic Racer to be “Episode I: Racer 2.0” with shinier graphics… that’s not what this is. In a recent interview, Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster pulled back the curtain on the upcoming 2026 racing title — and what he revealed makes it clear this isn’t just a nostalgic side project. It’s an ambitious Star Wars game built with Lucasfilm involvement from the ground up… and it hasn’t been easy. “This Isn’t Just Podracing” One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding Galactic Racer is that it’s simply a podracing revival. Webster made it clear that’s not the case. While the game absolutely taps into Star Wars’ racing DNA, it goes far beyond Tatooine engines and Boonta Eve vibes. The team is building what they call a “Galactic League” — a broader racing circuit that spans multiple worlds, eras, and vehicle types. That means you won’t just…
Star Wars Galactic Racer PC System Requirements Revealed
The upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer is already generating serious hype — especially with former Burnout and Need for Speed developers involved. Now, we finally have our first look at the official PC system requirements, giving players a clearer idea of what hardware they’ll need to jump into the galaxy at full speed. Whether you’re planning to race across desert worlds or blast through neon-lit cityscapes, here’s what your PC needs to handle the action.

Following the recent gameplay reveal for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the developers at Fuse Games have shared a huge amount of new information about how the game works — from its story-driven campaign to new racing mechanics and why the team deliberately avoided making it open world. A major new interview has revealed key details about Star Wars Galactic Racer, including story mode, gameplay systems, and why it avoids open-world racing. Built by Former Burnout and Need for Speed Developers Galactic Racer is the first project from British studio Fuse Games, founded in 2023 by former Criterion developers — the team behind Burnout and several Need for Speed titles. That racing DNA is central to the project. “We always play to our strengths… a shared love for thrilling, fast arcade racing games and a shared love for the Star Wars universe.” The idea for the game came from combining those…
