Milestone Srl
Milestone S.r.l. is an Italian video game developer based in Milan. Founded in 1994 by Antonio Farina, the studio specialises in racing games, especially motorcycle racing games. The company began under the name Graffiti, developing the car racing game ''Screamer''. After the studio rebranded as Milestone in 1996, it used ''Screamer''s success for multi-game publishing deals with Virgin Interactive and Electronic Arts. The poor performance of '' Racing Evoluzione'', published by Atari with little marketing, lead to key figures leaving Milestone. As part of Leader Group from 2002 on, the studio hired many younger developers and developed multiple games for multiple platforms, including several based on the Superbike World Championship. This shaped Milestone's identity as a developer of motorcycle racing games. After detaching from Leader Group in 2011, the studio obtained the license for MotoGP games in 2013. In 2019, Milestone was acquired by Koch Media. History Antonio Farina ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
