SEGA has officially announced a new entry in the Crazy Taxi franchise, titled 'Crazy Taxi: World Tour.' The game was revealed during a showcase event, with a trailer featuring Axel, the original driver, behind the wheel of his iconic yellow cab. The release is scheduled for 2027, though no specific platform or date has been confirmed.
The trailer shows fast-paced driving through a vibrant city, with the classic 'pick up and drop off' gameplay. SEGA has not yet detailed all features, but the game is expected to include modern graphics and online multiplayer elements, based on the company's previous statements about reviving classic IPs.
This announcement marks a return for the series, which has been dormant since the 2010s. SEGA has been actively rebooting its older franchises, such as 'Streets of Rage' and 'Golden Axe,' as part of a broader strategy to appeal to nostalgic fans and new players alike.
