Fan favorite Star Wars podracing video game, Star Wars Episode 1 Racer will be coming to current generation consoles, Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4.
According to Starwars.com, and developer Aspyr, Racer will return with modernized controls, but no word on if modern and classic graphics styles will be available to play. We can assume this edition’s graphics will at least be updated for modern televisions.
No release date was announced.
Starwars.com also states the game will include the following, although nothing really new is learned from these descriptions as they sound generic and vague, except for the last one:
- 25 playable racers including: Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba, and Ratts Tyerell
- Race tracks spanning 8 unique worlds including: Tatooine, Baroonda, and Malastare
- Work with pit droids to upgrade your podracer for higher top speeds and acceleration
- Discover short-cuts and secrets to master your lap times
- Split-screen multiplayer (Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4) and LAN multiplayer (Nintendo Switch)
