In May 2021, Sega said it planned to exploit its suite of dormant IP for remakes, remasters, and reboots, naming games like Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio as candidates for revitalization.
Sega is reportedly developing “big-budget” reboots of its Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio franchises, according to Bloomberg, as the company seeks to create a global hit.
Both Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio were included in Sega’s 2011 Dreamcast Collection, and Sega has attempted multiple Crazy Taxi spinoffs for mobile devices, including 2017’s Crazy Taxi Tycoon (née Crazy Taxi Gazillionaire), a business management sim/idle game.
Bloomberg reports that Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio are up first; a new Crazy Taxi is already a year into development, with plans to release it in the next two to three years.
