Milestone today (October 28, 2025) released a developer interview video introducing the systems of its upcoming new title, Screamer.
This game is Milestone’s latest arcade racing title, following their acclaimed “MotoGP” series and various other racing games. Inspired by Japanese anime, the game features a futuristic world highlighted by characters with an anime-inspired aesthetic and stylized visuals reminiscent of animation.

In the interview, game director Federico Cardini and development & creative director Michele Caletti discuss various elements that shape Screamer’s gameplay experience.
One of the game’s standout features is its twin-stick control system. In Screamer, players perform drifts—typically done using brakes in conventional racing games—by manipulating a dedicated drift mechanism on the right stick. This allows for seamless combination of steering via the left stick and drifting with the right stick, achieving an unprecedented level of control that far surpasses traditional arcade racers.
The interview also touches upon other core gameplay elements, including multiple teams composed of three characters each, 15 distinct vehicles with unique skills, and the central system known as the “Echo System.” Further details about these components will be revealed in the second half of the upcoming interview.
