Release Date: March 26, 2026
An arcade racing game, serving as a reincarnation of the original Screamer back from 1995. Milestone studio is once again behind the development. This new version of Screamer puts focus on street competition between drivers. The story in the game is presented by anime-like cut-scenes from the Japanese Polygon Pictures studio.
The original Screamer from 1995 represented the genre of arcade racing games, somewhat reminiscent of The Need for Speed or the Ridge Racer series. The series then turned towards rallies for the next two entries, and its fourth instalment, Screamer 4x4 released in 2000, was an off-road driving simulation. The first three games were the work of the Italian studio Milestone. The same developer brought the brand back to life over a quarter of a century later, creating its reboot in a new formula, simply titled Screamer.
Similar to the original, Screamer focuses on sports cars, which race on asphalt roads (in this case city streets) at dizzying speeds. This time the emphasis is on battles between drivers using "combat" gameplay mechanics.
Another distinguishing feature of the Screamer reboot is its in-depth storyline, showing the fates of a number of characters (one of them played by famous voice actor Troy Baker) who take part in a street racing tournament in the near future. The story incorporates themes of love, revenge, and greed. It is illustrated by cut-scenes prepared by the Japanese animation studio Polygon Pictures, inspired by manga and anime from the 1980s and 1990s.
In addition to the single-player story mode, Screamer offers multiplayer gameplay via the Internet or on a split screen.

Gameffine: 85 / 100 by Subhasish Das
Screamer is one of the most unique and challenging arcade racers ever made. It is bold, stylish, and deeply satisfying. Its twin-stick racing system has a steep learning curve that demands commitment, which may scare off casual players, but for enthusiasts, this might just be the next cult classic that will be remembered for a long time. Its neon-soaked, anime-inspired presentation delivers one of the best narratives in racing games we’ve experienced in over a decade.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 8 / 10
Screamer is a refreshing racing game from an incredibly reliable studio. Milestone has taken a chance to do something different, and it has paid off as the anime-influenced story mode is a blast and the game looks fantastic. Playing just as impressively as its visuals, racing fans looking for something new will want to check this out.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
Screamer is a bold and exciting arcade racing game that stands out from the pack. It takes some big swings, and most of them have worked out, save for a story that maybe outstays its welcome. The racing itself is unique and challenging, and once you have a handle on all its systems, it's very rewarding to master. With its stylish presentation on top, this is one racer very much in its own lane.
