Frequently Asked Questions
When does Screamer release?
The new arcade racing game Screamer from developer Milestone is scheduled to release on March 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
What is Screamer the game about?
Screamer (the upcoming 2026 game) is a futuristic, anime-inspired arcade racing game that blends high-speed driving with fighting mechanics, featuring a story-driven campaign about rival teams in a deadly tournament, exploring themes of ambition and revenge, all within a world where cars gain fighting abilities through mysterious tech called "ECHO".
What is the ECHO System?
The Echo System revolves around two key resources: Sync and Entropy. Sync can be built passively or intentionally, by performing the Active Shift, a timely upshift which complements the vehicles’ automatic transmission. Sync acts as a versatile resource: you can spend it to Boost or to Shield against enemy attacks. Sync thus rewards you for skillful racing and well-timed actions, granting both racing and fighting advantages.
Importantly, using Sync generates Entropy, the energy that powers the two offensive mechanics called Strike and Overdrive. Strike is a short but lethal attack that can make enemies explode, while Overdrive is a powered-up state of the vehicle that brings with it high risk in exchange for high rewards. Overdrive boosts speed, grants temporary shielding, and enables knocking out opponents; however, if you are in Overdrive, you will explode if you crash into a wall. While Strike uses only part of the Entropy, Overdrive consumes it all, making strategy and wise deployment of both options essential to success.
In Screamer, races evolve dynamically as Sync and Entropy are built and spent, while differences in character abilities and vehicle handling create unique challenges every lap, both offline and online, where teamwork-driven racing will thrive.
