The long‑awaited voice of the Crazy Taxi franchise has finally returned to social media after a seven‑year silence, hinting at a fresh reboot that could reignite the series’ iconic high‑speed escapades.
Back in 2023, the franchise’s revival was first announced at The Game Awards, but since then the only updates have been a series of cryptic screenshots and a handful of rumors.
Today, the official Crazy Taxi X account dropped a new teaser video—its first post since 2019—showing the familiar taxi’s neon light flickering to life atop a gleaming yellow convertible, a clear nod to the series’ classic aesthetic.
The reboot is being crafted by Sega’s Sapporo Studio, a relatively new studio founded in December 2021 that has already contributed to several high‑profile Sega titles.
In 2024, Sega Sapporo unveiled a recruitment video spotlighting Kenji Kanno, the visionary director behind the original Crazy Taxi. The clip revealed that the studio is experimenting with a multiplayer twist on the classic arcade formula, where players race to ferry passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible.
The original Crazy Taxi first captured arcade audiences in 1999, but it was the 2000 Dreamcast home release that truly propelled the title to mainstream acclaim, ultimately ranking as the console’s third best‑selling game in the United States.
Since then, the series has spawned multiple sequels and spin‑offs, yet the last brand‑new mainline entry—Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller—remained an Xbox exclusive released two decades ago.
