Sega is working on reboots of two iconic games that were originally released in the early to mid-2000s, namely Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio. Sega wants these titles to be “more modern,” but has not provided any additional information at this time.
Sega is developing a new game, “bomb rush cyberfunk,” in which players will take on the role of an elite hacker fighting off waves of enemies. The game will be released as part of Sega’s latest console, the Dreamcast 2.

Sega fans haven’t had a new Crazy Taxi or Jet Set Radio game in a long time, but both brands are said to be making a big comeback. According to Bloomberg, Sega is working on big-budget reboots for both brands as part of its “Super Game” program, which was launched a year ago with the goal of creating games that might generate recurrent income by drawing and sustaining a large online community of loyal players. There’s no word on whether the new Crazy Taxi or Jet Set Radio games will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors (e.g., Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller and Jet Set Radio Future), but the new Crazy Taxi will most likely be released first, as it’s already been in development for over a year.
Sega Brings Back Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio to Pursue Fortnite Fortunes (Bloomberg)
According to sources familiar with the company’s intentions, Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. is working on big-budget remakes of its Dreamcast classics Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio as it mines its back library for worldwide blockbusters like Epic Games Inc.’s Fortnite.
The new Crazy Taxi has been in production for over a year, and the Tokyo-based entertainment firm hopes to release it in two to three years, according to the sources, who asked not to be identified since the information isn’t publicly public. It was included on a list of intellectual property assets that Sega planned to recapitalize by bringing them up to date in the company’s annual report a year ago, alongside Jet Set Radio. Both new games are in the early phases of development and might be discontinued at any time, according to the sources.
According to the sources, Sega’s video game unit president Shuji Utsumi, a former PlayStation executive, is leading the Super Game project, which presently has plans for four such games. Last year, the business said that its European studio was working on a first-person shooter called Super Game, with the goal of providing “contents and services that may generate a huge community” as well as up to 100 billion yen ($780 million) in lifetime income.
