Instead of being a single player title, the next Crazy Taxi from Sega may be an online multiplayer game set in a big open-world environment. This is according to a new video Sega put out where they talk about the upcoming title and provided a few looks at several game modes, vehicles, and visuals.
In the video, the team says there have been a few difficulties in moving from a single-player game to a live-service multiplayer title. The video can be seen below but it is all in Japanese. Insider Gaming was able to translate some of the important parts of the video, which have been shared here.
Sega’s Sapporo Studio talks at length about the city, stressing that it has been designed with realism and a sense of freedom in mind, with players being given a plethora of activities to explore in a ‘theme park-like environment’.
In the trailer, there are shots of police chases, stunt-based modes, and general exploration with other players zipping around the world taking on their tasks all at the same time. Sega’s team explained that car design and customisation will also be a thing, and there were shots of artists working on character models, which leans into the suggestion that players might be able to travel on foot.
