At The Game Awards last December, a reboot of the beloved Crazy Taxi franchises was one of five major games that Sega announced at once, and now, the company has provided some more details on what you can expect from the game. Sega has uploaded a new Japanese recruitment video focused on the Crazy Taxi reboot, talking about the game’s development, what it is envisioned at, what players can expect from it, and more.
As per details in the video as well as a number of lob listings (via Automaton Media), Crazy Taxi is going to be a fully open world game, while, as some prior leaks and reports have suggested, it’s also going to be a live service, “massively multiplayer” experience. As per the video, the game will be set in a large city inspired by cities on the West Coast in the United States. Though the game’s map has been described as realistic, it will apparently also be “theme park-like”.
Players can expect plenty of high-speed racing, dropping passengers off at various destinations, police chases, elaborate stunts, and more. As caught by Insider Gaming, the video also offers glimpses and brief details on vehicle design and customization, while some shots also show various character models being worked on- though whether on-foot gameplay will be a significant part of the experience remains to be seen.
Sega has previously said that the Crazy Taxi reboot will boast a “cheerful feeling of freedom” and combine it with a “fusion of nature and city” in its environments. Read more on that through here.
