After first being teased back in December 2023, SEGA have finally showcased the next Crazy Taxi title at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase. Now called Crazy Taxi: World Tour, this new entry in the series puts you in control Axel as he travels around the world in tracking down a nefarious thief who has stolen his beloved taxi. Check out the reveal trailer below:
In more disappointing news, the Steam store page for the game confirms that generative AI was used in the development of the game:
At SEGA Corporation, we utilize generative AI as a support tool for developers, aiming to provide better content to our users and enable developers to focus more on creative tasks.
We have used such generative AI support tools during development of Crazy Taxi: World Tour. No AI was used in reference to the performers in the game.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC, PS5 and Switch 2 at some point in 2027. Please do not support developments that use generative AI as the use of AI is damaging to the environment, AI models steal artwork from living human beings, and it also puts real artists out of work.
The Creative Assembly have formally announced their sequel to 2014’s Alien Isolation.
