 As revealed during the livestream, players will be able to recruit three legendary Assassins. Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Kassandra will be available through special limited-time banners, while Alexios can be recruited for free by completing in-game activities. These characters have been designed from the ground up to integrate deeply with Reverse: 1999’s unique combat system; Ezio can switch between different weapons, and Kassandra can alternate between skill trees to adapt to any battle.

Players can expect the following abundant in-game rewards:

• Collaboration Summon Extra Prizes: The banners for Ezio and Kassandra will feature new Collaboration Summon Extra Prizes, rewarding players with an extra copy of the collaboration character after 100/160/220/280 pulls.

The new story will unfold in two phases. In Phase I, Vertin and the team will travel to Renaissance Florence and fight alongside characters from Assassin’s Creed II. The adventure continues in Phase II, as the story shifts to Ancient Greece, where players will join forces with the heroes of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to investigate the Acropolis of Athens in order to foil a plot by the Cult of Kosmos. The update also introduces new garments for beloved Reverse: 1999 characters themed around both Greek mythology and the Assassin’s Creed universe.

Sydney, Australia, July 25, 2025 – Through a dedicated clip, Milestone today unveiled the Green Reapers, the first of several Screamer teams to be introduced in the coming months. Designed to redefine the standards of arcade action through unique gameplay mechanics, Screamer is all about speed, strategy, and brutal battles between five teams competing in an illegal street racing tournament on the streets of a stunning, anime-inspired metropolis. Each team consists of one leader and two members, ready to support the journey of their captain.

Former Private Military Contractors with wildly different personal histories, these three outsiders share a common background in high-risk operations. At the helm is Hiroshi Jackson, an intense person with a cybernetic arm and a past marked by loss and second chances. At his side is Frederic Barthelemy, a hothead in a constant search for new thrills, and completing the trio is Róisín Garrity,  a deadly assassin trained to kill from a young age. Recent events have shaken the team’s balance, forcing them to redefine their identity as they enter the tournament.  With no experience on the track, but a lifetime of surviving war and chaos, the Green Reapers aren’t racing for fame or glory. They’re here for something far deeper.

Scheduled for release in 2026, Screamer will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
