As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.

Milestone today announced they are working on a reimagined Screamer title, almost a successor to their incredible 90s arcade racing title (originally released under the Graffiti name). It’s hard to tell what to expect from the title, at this point, but it sort of reminds me of Need for Speed Unbound (a title that I didn’t like very much). But anyway, trying not to judge… It’s way too early for that.

Embracing the trailblazing spirit of the original, Milestone has re-envisioned its most iconic IP, combining over 30 years of expertise in racing games to craft a brand-new racing experience with fighting mechanics destined to leave a lasting impact on the genre, just as the original did in the ’90s.

This brand-new Screamer seamlessly blends high-octane arcade action with revolutionary gameplay dynamics and a deep storyline enriched by interwoven character arcs. Drawing inspiration from anime and manga from the ’80s and ’90s, the narrative and visual framework will be the beating heart and soul of the experience. The game features contributions from industry-leading partners, including animated cutscenes created in collaboration with Polygon Pictures—one of the oldest and most renowned Japanese animation studios—and the acclaimed American actor Troy Baker, one of gaming’s most recognizable voices.
Combining plot themes of human will, revenge, love, and greed with classic sci-fi imagery, Screamer immerses players in the clash between personal desires and external forces that seek to control them. This journey unfolds through the eyes of a diverse cast of characters involved in a street racing tournament organized by a mysterious figure.
Scheduled for release in 2026, Screamer will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
