That’s likely because the game is surprisingly close to launch, and is set to release in January.It’s unclear at this juncture precisely how the game mixes storytelling and worldbuilding with multiplayer elements, but much of the gameplay does appear to be competitive in nature.Highguard is set to launch as a free-to-play title on...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer Is Coming Next Year

It's not officially a Star Wars: Episode I – Racer sequel (which featured podracing exclusively), but the newly announced Star Wars Galactic Racer might as well be. The game is developed by Fuse Games, whose members have history working on games like Need for Speed and Burnout, and the trailer showed different types of new and familiar Star Wars vehicles (like speeder bikes and more) racing against backdrops like AT-AT graveyards while a narrator yells, "The galaxy needs racing!" The trailer also takes a moment to highlight an appearance from Sebulba (or maybe just an alien that is the same species as Sebulba). The game is coming some time next year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC  ...

Run across the field, shoot and slide, and deal with the many colorful and dangerous robots in your way.We'll doubtless learn more between now and 2027, but seeing a gameplay slice right now certainly feels like a sign of confidence from the crew at Capcom.Mega Man: Dual Override is aiming for 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox,...
