- Sega is developing a new crazy taxi game.
- There will be an Arcade Mode so players can experience the original gameplay.

The latest installment in the Crazy Taxi video game franchise arrives next year. It’s called Crazy Taxi: World Tour, and it follows Axel as he chases down the thieves who stole his taxi, racing across five world cities.
The game will feature “extreme driving,” with players racking up in-game points and cash by delivering passengers and completing a variety of main missions and side challenges. Sega says you will be able to “Play Your Way” through the game, which will feature a variety of vehicles and vehicle customization.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour will also feature an Arcade Mode that allows players to experience the original game. There will also be a multiplayer component with several different game modes.

The original Crazy Taxi launched as an arcade game in 1999 before arriving on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. It was considered a success, spawning several sequels, with versions of the game eventually landing on Apple iOS and Google Android devices.
