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.

One More Game: 7 / 10 by Vincent Ternida
Screamer is a distinctive arcade racer that blends anime-inspired storytelling with inventive mechanics, offering a quirky world for fans of the genre. Its ambitious scope, however, is weighed down by an overly long story mode, unpredictable difficulty spikes, and AI tricks that can frustrate newcomers. Despite these shortcomings, there’s still enjoyment to be found, particularly in its Arcade and Multiplayer modes. While not essential as a Day 1 purchase, Screamer demonstrates Milestone’s willingness to experiment, leaving us curious to see how the studio will refine its approach in future racing titles.
Completexbox: 75 / 100 by Dan Boise
As a casual racing fan, I wanted to like Screamer; it had been on my radar for a while. But your enjoyment of it will depend on your commitment to it. The game looks and sounds amazing, the controls overall feel tight, albeit a bit more complex than the typical racers. The twin stick mechanic feels counterintuitive and requires an adaptation period. If you’re conquered every Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsports, Forza Horizon, Assetto Corsa Competizione, or the Project CARS trilogy, Screamer is for you. Otherwise, if you’re looking to dab into the genre, this ain’t it. Only hardcore racing fans need apply.
Impulsegamer: 3.8 / 5
Screamer also has an amazing soundtrack with several exciting tracks that enhance the high-octane racing. Overall, Screamer is a great game and while not without flaws, has several engaging elements that make it stand out from other racing games of this era.
