Sega's beloved arcade racer is making a comeback with Crazy Taxi: World Tour, and a new trailer reveals that players will be taking their taxis to the bustling streets of Japan. The "Welcome to Japan" gameplay trailer, released by GameSpot, offers a glimpse into the game's vibrant setting, described as a place "beautifully suspended between two worlds" where "historic neighborhoods and tradition sit alongside the bustling energy of the modern city."
While the trailer focuses on the new location, it confirms that Crazy Taxi: World Tour is slated for a 2027 release. The series is known for its fast-paced driving, iconic music, and the core gameplay loop of picking up and dropping off passengers within a time limit. The "World Tour" subtitle suggests a global scope for the game, with Japan being the first revealed destination.
Fans can anticipate falling in love with the "land of the rising sun" when the game eventually launches. Further details regarding gameplay mechanics, other potential locations, and the full roster of vehicles and drivers have yet to be announced, but the reveal of Japan sets a high bar for the visual and atmospheric direction of Crazy Taxi: World Tour.
