Sega Reveals New Details on Crazy Taxi, Shinobi, and Golden Axe Reboots

Crazy Taxi will boast the "cheerful feeling of freedom" and a "fusion of nature and city", while Shinobi is described as a world "full of monsters and ninja actions."

Sega announced not one, not two, but five reboots of classic franchises at The Game Awards earlier this month, and in recent management meeting, the company revealed some more new tidbits on those titles via a presentation.

Sega says the Crazy Taxi reboot will boast a “cheerful feeling of freedom” and combine it with a “fusion of nature and city” in its environments, while Golden Axe will see players defeat enemies “with a variety of attacks with swords and magic”. Meanwhile, Shinobi is set in a world “full of monsters and ninja actions”, and will task players with using the “legendary sword” Oberozuki to “slay Evil once more”.

New screenshots and artwork for the titles have also been shared. You can view them below. Whether or not Crazy Taxi is going to be a live service game as past leaks have suggested remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, Sega has also confirmed that the Jet Set Radio reboot will be open world, and revealed that the next Streets of Rage game is called Streets of Rage Revolution.
