Progress runs through route selection and stage rewards in the style of Slay the Spire. Fuse Games, founded in 2023, is developing it. Quick Race and a future multiplayer mode were described.","whyItMatters":"Fuse Games staff from the Burnout and Need for Speed teams at the former EA/Criterion are building a licensed Star Wars racer around a roguelite structure rather than a straight circuit racer, which is the part of the hands-on worth watching.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe build opens Story Mode with a cutscene, then character customization limited to body, helmet, and voice.

Runs are roguelite: stage clears grant abilities and parts of varying rarity, and a crash limit per stage ends the attempt.
