In
December
of
last
year,

Sega
announced
plans
to
bring
back
a
plethora
of
classic
IP,
including
the
beloved
Crazy
Taxi
which
saw
players
skidding
around
a
city
as
they
delivered
customers
to
their
destinations.

The
game
is
still
in
its
early
development
phases,
but
thanks
to
a
new
video
and
job
listings
we
can
glean
a
few
snippets
of
information.

Sega
is
currently
looking
to
fill
several
positions
for
the
new
Crazy
Taxi
title.
Most
of
the
ten
listings
describes
the
game
as
a
” new
major
online
title
(large-scale
project,
open
world,
mass
multiplayer
driving
game)
.

They
also
specify
that
it
will
run
on
the
“latest
Unreal
Engine”
and
that
is
is
aiming
to
“become
a
global
hit,
primarily
in
the
North
American
market.”

Sega
also
published
a
video
aimed
to
attracting
talent
to
work
on
the
game.
Of
course,
it’s
in
Japanese,
a
language
I
don’t
speak,
so
everything
I
gleaned
from
it
came
from
the
footage
shown,
translations
offered
by
other
people
and
Youtube’s
own
inbuilt
translation
system.

The
general
gist
is
that
the
team
are
indeed
testing
Crazy
Taxi
as
a
more
multiplayer
focused
project,
but
its
unclear
whether
that
extends
to
it
being
a
live-service
or
whether
it
will
have
any
form
of
singleplayer.
The
level
design
team
discusses
trying
to
give
the
city
a
“realistic”
feeling
while
also
giving
it
a
“theme
park-like
atmosphere.”

Ultimately,
the
video
does
emphasis
that
the
team
is
only
testing
ideas
right
now,
meaning
that
this
multiplayer
Crazy
Taxi
might
not
end
up
being
the
end
product.
Only
time
will
tell.

Personally,
the
idea
of
multiplayer
Crazy
Taxi
sounds
like
good
fun,
although
I’d
like
there
to
still
be
a
solo
option.
I
just
hope
the
don’t
go
down
the
games-as-a-service
route,
as
I
don’t
think
we
need
more
of
those
and
I
don’t
think
Crazy
Taxi
has
the
mass-market
appeal
to
support
that
kind
of
model,
either.
