The Milan-based studio Milestone today announced Screamer, a new title coming in 2026 inspired by their 1995 arcade racer of the same name. The game will immerse us in urban scenarios with a draining arcade racer gameplay and anime graphics; Here are the first details, the announcement trailer and some images.

Screamer, the 1995 title that pushed the boundaries of racing games, set a new benchmark in the genre and brought the excitement of virtual racing from arcades to players' homes.

Embracing the pioneering spirit of the original, Milestone has reimagined its most iconic intellectual properties, combining over 30 years of experience in racing games to create a brand new experience with exceptional combat mechanics, destined to leave a lasting impact on the genre, just as the original did in the 90s.

This all-new Screamer seamlessly blends high-speed arcade action with groundbreaking gameplay and a deep storyline enhanced by intertwined character arcs. Inspired by anime and manga from the 80s and 90s, the game's narrative and visual structure will be its beating heart and soul. The game features input from industry-leading partners, including animated scenes created in collaboration with Polygon Pictures, one of Japan's oldest and most renowned animation studios, and acclaimed American actor Troy Baker, one of the most recognizable voices in video games.

Combining themes of human will, revenge, love, and greed with classic sci-fi imagery, Screamer immerses players in the clash between personal desires and the external forces that seek to control them. This journey takes place through the eyes of a diverse cast of characters involved in a street racing tournament organized by a mysterious figure.
