In a recently posted recruitment video, developers at Sega Sapporo have described the in-development Crazy Taxi reboot as a "massive multiplayer driving" game. This revival was first announced during The Game Awards 2023, alongside other Sega reboots, including new entries in the Jet Set Radio and Streets of Rage series. While details have been scarce, a trailer indicated that the Crazy Taxi reboot will retain its arcade-style gameplay and cartoony art style.
Sega has stated that Crazy Taxi will be one of the publisher's Triple-A games, suggesting it will be much larger in scale than expected. Sega Sapporo, established in 2021 and known for assisting in the development of various Sega games, is developing the reboot. Over the past year, several leaks have described the game as a massively multiplayer live service title. Recently, Sega Sapporo confirmed these details, sharing that "massively multiplayer" elements will be part of the experience.

In a new Japanese recruitment video posted by Sega (partially translated by VGC), producer Kenji Kanno, the director of the original Crazy Taxi, along with other development team members, shared details about the reboot. According to the video, the team is adapting the original Crazy Taxi gameplay—where players pick up and drive passengers to their destinations quickly—into a world populated by multiple players. The reboot’s gameplay will feature a city based on the West Coast of the United States, described in the video as "theme park-like."
Further insight into the reboot is provided by several job listings on Sega's website. These listings describe the Crazy Taxi reboot as a "new major online title" with an open world created using Unreal Engine. These details align with earlier leaks that suggested the Crazy Taxi reboot would be a live service game.
