This Week In Video Games 12/15/25 — 12/19/25

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

Just as we were expecting, this was certainly a full week of video games. Some of it is catching up from all of the big announcements we did have, while also offering up some other games that were left out of #TheGameAwards, as they would not drive money to the show. Titles like Clive Barker’s #HellraiserRevival and #Painkiller, even if others like #Divinity and #WARLOCK hit on the harsher themes and mature content in the same ways. It is kind of why you still need some of the mavericks like us out there covering the various video games that are not going to be big news for the “mainstream.” Gods, I hate that we are in this timeline of things where that needs to be the case.

 

Star Wars: Galactic Racer Will Be Racing Its Way Out To Us All

A new Star Wars racing title is on the way to us with the recent announcement for #SWGalacticRacer

It does feel like it has been a good long while since we had a racing game set in the #StarWars universe. Sure, there have been a few, and other titles had racing in them, but it looks like we are getting a whole new one to give all of the racing game fans something to look at, too. A new title on the way from Fuse Games and Secret Mode for the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC slated to drop in 2026. Here we have the official announcement for Star Wars: Galactic Racer to give us all that feeling again. Along with some new things added into the mix from various other titles, this one might be the current definitive racing title in this IP. For now, at least.

 

Fate Will Finally Be In Our Hands In Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic

A new Star Wars title is on the way, with an era that many have been waiting for within #SWFateotOR

Talk about a massive announcement that happened during #TheGameAwards this year… #StarWars: #FateOfTheOldRepublic is on the way to us and looking to take us all back to the era that so many fans have been missing over the decades. All from Arcanaut Studio and led by Casey Hudson, along with the guidance of Lucasfilm Games to make sure it stays in the Star Wars setting perfectly. I know I lost so much time to the Knights Of The Old Republic when it first dropped out there, and with this being the spiritual successor to that game, I can only see more time going into the IP yet again. But, I’m getting ahead of myself here. Let’s discuss what we can about this one, even if that is going to be a little at this point.
