‘Crazy Taxi: World Tour’ Announced With New Trailer, Coming in 2027

Sega has officially announced “Crazy Taxi: World Tour,” marking the return of its well-known arcade racing franchise. The reveal happened during the Xbox Showcase, where a trailer was shown for the first time. This new game is set to release in 2027 and will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

The announcement confirms that Sega is continuing its efforts to bring back older franchises. “Crazy Taxi: World Tour” is one of the latest examples of this approach, reviving a series that has been quiet for years. The game is being developed as a modern reboot while still keeping the fast and chaotic style the series is known for.

The trailer showed a global setting for the new game. It confirms that the story follows Axel, one of the classic drivers from the series. In this new adventure, Axel is chasing mysterious masked villains who have stolen his taxi. This sets up a worldwide journey filled with high-speed driving and missions across different locations.

According to the announcement, the game focuses on over-the-top driving action and a more story-driven structure compared to older entries. Players will travel across different environments while completing extreme taxi missions. The main goal is still to earn money through fast and risky driving, which has always been a core part of the series.

The trailer presentation emphasized the return of the franchise’s energetic tone. The game is described as a mix of “crazy driving, crazy adventure, and crazy money,” keeping the spirit of the original arcade games but expanding it into a larger global setting.

Sega’s announcement also confirmed that the game will support Xbox Play Anywhere on Xbox Series X and S, meaning players can access it across console and PC with shared progress. This adds more flexibility for players who use Xbox platforms.

While full gameplay details have not been revealed yet, the trailer suggests a mix of fast driving missions and story progression. The focus on Axel and the stolen taxi storyline gives the game a clear narrative direction, which is new for the series compared to its earlier arcade-style structure.

The game is currently scheduled for release in 2027. Sega did not share a specific date, but the reveal confirms it is in active development for all major modern platforms. The announcement has renewed interest in the franchise, which originally became popular for its chaotic taxi-driving gameplay and energetic tone.

With “Crazy Taxi: World Tour,” Sega is bringing one of its classic titles back to a modern audience. The game aims to combine familiar arcade-style driving with a larger world, updated visuals, and a more structured adventure format while still keeping the series’ signature fast and unpredictable gameplay.
