Fuse Games

It’s launch day for STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™. Three and a half years ago, Fuse Games was a handful of people with a big idea. Since then, our small team has poured their hard work and talent into our first game, and that big idea comes to life today. Here's a personal message from the team.

Fuse’s Lead Character Artist on the creative process for bringing the intrepid Katja Mox to our screens: “Katja Mox is the ex-heiress to the influential and Imperial-aligned MoxCorp. Her upbringing is reflected in the rich deep wine colours, golden trims and plush fabric of her clothes.”

We’ve been nominated for Ultimate Game of the Year by Golden Joysticks, and are being totally calm and nonchalant about it. 👀 It’s an honour just to be nominated, but it’s an even bigger one that you all got us here. Thank you to everyone who played, shared, and shouted scrib doon.

STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ has been nominated for Best Audio Design at the Golden Joysticks Awards! Take a look behind-the-curtain at how our Audio Team created the soundscape for the game here ➡️ youtu.be/E4bHCgy3sgU Last chance to vote here ➡️ www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoysti...

Fuse’s Lead Concept Artist on the process of ageing Sebulba: “We’re catching up with Sebulba many years after his race at the Boonta Eve Classic in 32 BBY. His successful racing career is clear from his affluent garments, so it makes sense that he would have an aged rockstar look.”

The first quality of life patch for STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ is now available to download on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC! Read the full patch notes here: https://starwarsgalacticracer.com/patchnotes/star-wars-galactic-racer-quality-of-life-update/

Come take a look inside our studio! For BAFTA's 'In the Studio' series, they sat down with the team to talk about how Fuse Games started and how we make our games. Watch it here ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCb5...

Fuse Games’ Game Director Bill Lane and Music & Narrative Director Nathaniel Daw share some tips on how to maximize the Backers and Rivals system in the singleplayer campaign of STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™. Watch the full Rivals & Backers video here: https://youtu.be/_lWjAMSJzgw

Fuse’s Level Design Director discusses how the setting influenced level design: “We tried to envision how Imperial structures could realistically create gameplay opportunities for players to discover, rather than it just being a narrative set piece.”

Ding dong, pookie. The game that brought you the sweet sound of Scrib Doon has been nominated for Best Audio Design in the Golden Joystick Awards! Voting ends on Friday October 23rd. Vote STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ for Best Audio Design today ➡️ https://www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoystickawards/

Fuse’s Lead Concept Artist on the process of realising our hero and protagonist, Shade: “For Shade, we added a prominent visor which is commonly seen in motorcross helmets. Not only did this fit Shade’s racer aesthetic, but also appealed to the characters core archetype: the mysterious stranger.”

Fuse’s Lighting Artist on lighting the caverns of Crait: “Crait’s iconic palette provided some challenges. but we had to field the issues of intense reds within a physically based lighting set-up. Red tends to absorb all other light colours, making it difficult to be intentional with the mood.”

Want to know what our top strategies for builds are in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™? Our Creative Director Kieran Crimmins, Game Director Bill Lane, and Design Director Mark Bridges got together to talk through and showcase their favourite builds and strategies. ⬇️

I've been playing Star Wars Galactic Racer early thanks to @fusegames.com and @wearesecretmode.com - I can't wait to tell you all about it!

“We knew from the first "Impeding!" we needed Kestar Bool to be instantly established as the entitled Caskadag that he is.” Kris Laudrum is the brilliant actor behind our antagonist- delivering an incredible performance that drips with arrogance and privilege.

I'm currently reviewing Star Wars Galactic Racer thanks to @fusegames.com and @wearesecretmode.com! Stay tuned...

For a perennial showman like Darius Pax, we knew we’d need a voice actor with a big personality to match. Meet Andrew James Spooner- the voice behind this charismatic Besalisk.

"I want racing back, the way it was!" Meet Andrew James Spooner, the impassioned voice behind Galactic League founder Darius Pax, in the next instalment of the Sounds of the Galactic League series.

"Kestar has no idea what's coming!" Meet Lucy Montgomery, the vivacious voice behind our animated Ardennian engineer Hibi, in the next instalment of Sounds of the Galactic League.

Fuse's Lead Concept Artist, James Lewis-Vines, talks about designing Hibi: “We landed on Hibi being Ardennian early, her extra forearms suited her chaotic-genius energy perfectly. Her workshop tells the same story: salvaged rebel hangar parts, built so she can work on vehicles from every angle.”

Settling the Score. Multi-award winning composer Gordy Haab and Fuse Games' Music & Narrative Director Nathaniel Daw discuss how they created the soundtrack for STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ in the first instalment of Sounds of the Galactic League.

Fuse's Level Design Director, Adam Stone, discusses designing the paddock on Sentinel I: “Every paddock layout varies slightly from planet to planet, each framed by a vista that captures the core theme of its location."

The skim speeder is a new repulsorcraft to the Star Wars galaxy. Our Game Director, Bill Lane, tells us how it was conceptualised: “We grounded every vehicle in reality for immersive simulation, using a plane as the skim speeder’s analogue while shaping its own repulsorcraft DNA.”

"This baby doesn't sprint. She spreads her wings and soars!" Find out all about skim speeders, a new addition to the STAR WARS™ galaxy, in Episode 3 of Under the Hood with Hibi.

We’re hiring for two new Gameplay Engineers. If you have experience in gameplay camera systems, state machines and progression systems, we want to hear from you. 📍 Guildford Apply here 🔗 fusegames.com/careers

Fuse’s Lead Concept Artist, James Lewis-Vines, shares how Kestar Bool’s design reflects his personality: “Kestar is all about opulence and status, with race-suit influences, Roman-emperor touches and gold details showing his ruthless, domineering nature.”

Got to play @starwarsgracer.bsky.social at Gamescom and it’s incredible. Loved every moment @fusegames.com If you’re a Burnout fan or even things like Pure and Motorstorm, there’s a lot of enjoy

Fun fact: Tooka cats in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ are based on our developer's cat. Say hello to the virtual reimagining of Eri!

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made with a core team of 75, supplemented by external development. "We're not doing that grow, shrink, grow, shrink process," says CEO Matt Webster. "And what we've done with this game is prove that is probably the model for AAA going forward" https://bit.ly/4wGMOT8

Fuse's Level Design Director on designing tracks for Jakku's iconic landscape: "Imperial Star Destroyer wreckage scars the war-torn planet of Jakku. While the wrecks provide great breathtaking compositional moments, it was also a design choice to create memorable player experiences."

The pilots you'll meet in the Galactic League are a myriad mix. Each has their own backstory, motivations, and allegiances, but they are all connected by their shared love of speed.

Fun Fact: one of our vintage-themed skim speeders is inspired by a De Havilland Vampire jet flying backwards. Yes, really. 🔁🛩️
