One of the biggest surprise announcements from last year’s The Game Awards was the official unveiling of Star Wars: Galactic Racer – a AAA racing title led by ex-Burnout and Need For Speed developers. Currently slated for launch some time this year, an accidental update to Galactic Racer’s Steam page seems to have confirmed its release date.

In a surprise update to the game’s Steam Store page (which has since been reverted), Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s publisher Secret Mode revealed that the title will be arriving in roughly 6 months time on the 6th of October.

Alongside its release date, we also got our first look at the game’s Deluxe Edition, set to include:

• A Steelbook
• 3 ‘exclusive’ Repulsorcraft
• 3 ‘deluxe’ liveries
• 3 ‘unique’ Arcade events
• Digital art book
• Pre-order bonus livery and player banner

Unfortunately we did not get a price for the game, nor are we likely to, given that the page has since been reverted to only including the very basics.

Still, hopefully this means that Secret Mode is gearing up to drop a bunch of new details – including confirmation of its leaked release date and hopefully its launch price.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for Star Wars: Galactic Racer? Will it get swept up in the pre-GTA VI rush? Let us know your thoughts down below.

We may have learned the planned launch date for Star Wars Galactic Racer, the upcoming racing game in development at Fuse Games, with Secret Mode set to publish. The "leak" comes from the game's own Steam page, which was briefly updated with the October 6, 2026 release date. The page also included pre-order and edition details: All pre-orders include a platform-exclusive livery (with distinct variants for PS5, Xbox, and PC) and a player banner, with the livery applicable to all speeder classes. The Digital Deluxe Edition adds a digital art book, three exclusive repulsorcraft, a Deluxe Livery (also applicable to […]

Fans of the Deus Ex franchise must unfortunately brace for more bad news. Eidos Montreal has been hit with another wave of layoffs, reducing headcount for a third year in a row, indicating that a new major game is not close to coming out.

In a statement shared this week, Eidos Montreal confirmed that it is letting go of another 124 employees, marking the third year in a row that the studio has made cuts. This most recent round of layoffs also coincides with studio head, David Anfossi, stepping down from his position at the company.

Eidos Montréal formed in the late 2000s before joining Square Enix. While under the Japanese publisher, the studio led the revival of the Deus Ex franchise, resulting in 2011's Mankind Divided and 2016's Human Revolution. Square Enix ultimately sold off Eidos Montreal and the Deus Ex IP to Embracer Group in 2022.

Eidos Montreal has not shipped a game since 2021's Guardians of the Galaxy, which did score well in reviews but ultimately did not hit its sales targets. It has been rumoured for years that Eidos has been trying to get a new Deus Ex game greenlit but due to the financial situation at Embracer Group in recent years, it has been unable to secure the funding. In recent years, Eidos has found work as a support studio for other major AAA projects at non-Embracer studios.

KitGuru Says: It is a real shame to see what is happening to Eidos Montreal. In an ideal world, they would have instantly jumped into work on a new Deus Ex game after joining Embracer. At the rate things are going though, we may not see a new Deus Ex game again.

The reveal of Star Wars: Galactic Racer at The Game Awards 2025 was a nice surprise for all those gamers who were dearly missing a Star Wars racing game. The last one to be released was Star Wars: Racer Revenge, launched in February 2002 for the PlayStation 2 console. It's been an age, at least as far as gaming goes. Earlier this month, the developers at Fuse Games even confirmed that podracing would indeed be featured in the game, alongside other vehicle types. Then, last week, a new promising gameplay trailer was shared during the State of Play broadcast. Now, […]
