Description

Milestone is an Italian development company founded in Milan in 1994 by Antonio Farina. Originally called Graffiti, the company name was changed to Milestone in 1996.

Under the name Graffiti the company developed three games: Super Loopz (1994), Iron Assault (1995) and Screamer (1995). Screamer started the company's exclusive focus on racing games, except for the 2003 licensed game show title L'eredità, The X Factor Sing (2005) and Australian Idol Sing (2005). The success of the Screamer arcade rally series made way for a partnership with Electronic Arts and it led to the development of three games in the EA Sports Superbike series released between 1999 and 2000.

In 2002, Milestone partnered with the European publisher Infogrames/Atari for the racing game Apex (2003). At the end of 2002 Milestone affiliated with the Italian game company Gruppo Leader (Leader S.p.a.) and started a partnership with its subsidiary Lago S.r.l. under the Black Bean Games label.

The company is best known for the Screamer series (car racing), Superbike World Championship series (motorcycle racing), Superstars V8 series (car racing), FIA WRC Rally series (car rally racing) and MotoGP series (motorcycle racing).

Since 2019, the company has been part of the Koch Media/Plaion operating group of the Embracer Group.
