As a gamer with decades of racing game experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Milestone’s announcement of the reimagined Screamer has me absolutely thrilled! Growing up in the ’90s and playing the original Screamer was a defining moment for me, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in racing games.

Milestone unveiled Screamer, an updated take on their 1995 racing game with the same title. The new edition is set to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and personal computers through Steam and Epic Games Store in the year 2026.

Here is an overview of the game, via Milestone:

In 1995, the game titled “Screamer” was released, breaking barriers within the realm of racing games, establishing a fresh standard for the genre, and transporting the thrill of digital race tracks straight to gamers’ living rooms.

Milestone, following in the footsteps of its groundbreaking originals, has creatively reimagined some of its most beloved intellectual properties. Using their 30-year racing game expertise, they’ve designed a fresh, unique experience with exceptional combat mechanics that aim to make a lasting impression on the genre, much like the original did in the ’90s.

Experience the alluring novelty of the recently launched game dubbed “Screamer”. It masterfully combines pulse-pounding arcade gameplay with groundbreaking mechanics and a captivating narrative bolstered by intricate character development. Drawn from the vibrant worlds of ’80s and ’90s anime and manga, this game’s storyline and artistic design serve as its lifeblood and essence. Notable collaborations with esteemed industry partners are evident throughout; Polygon Pictures—a revered Japanese animation studio with a rich history—has crafted animated cutscenes for the game, while the distinguished voice actor Troy Baker, a familiar figure in gaming, has lent his talents to the project.

By weaving together themes of human determination, vengeance, affection, and avarice with iconic sci-fi visuals, Screamer takes players deep into the struggle between individual aspirations and powerful entities intent on manipulating them. This narrative unfolds as seen through various characters, all connected by a covert street racing competition orchestrated by an enigmatic figure.
