Reliable leaker Midori revealed that Sega’s current “super game plan” is inspired by Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto Online. However, the upcoming Jet Set Radio reboot will seemingly be closer in gameplay to Epic Games’ online shooter than Crazy Taxi.

Shooting elements are reportedly “planned”, but the classic graffiti-tagging gameplay is intact. It’s an open-world title, as confirmed by Sega previously, and focuses on exploration with a new story and characters. Like Crazy Taxi, there are plans for remaking the first Jet Set Radio before the live service reboot launches.

Sega hasn’t officially announced the same nor indicated when these titles could launch. Rumors claim that Jet Set Radio’s reboot will arrive in 2026, followed by Crazy Taxi in 2027, and both are bound for the Nintendo Switch 2. Stay tuned for more updates and details in the coming months.

While it revealed new details and screenshots for each title, the publisher confirmed that Crazy Taxi will be a triple-A title. If that weren’t enough, reliable leaker Midori revealed on Twitter that it’s a live service/games-as-a-service title (in keeping with previous rumors about the same).

It’s reportedly “modeled after AAA live service games such as Fortnite” (GTA Online is another inspiration) with plans “for live events, collaborations and customizations.” There’s even a 100-player survival mode allegedly planned for the reboot, which sounds like it covers the battle royale space on the live service bingo card.

Sega allegedly seeks to be competitive in the live service space and wants to use “classic IPs in new ways with new technologies.” Interestingly, there are plans for a remake of the first game. Perhaps it could arrive before the reboot and drum up interest.

Time will tell, of course. Sega hasn’t confirmed platforms for either title, but the reboot is reportedly coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
