SEGA has officially revived one of its most recognizable arcade franchises with the announcement of Crazy Taxi: World Tour, slated to appear on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
The reveal follows years of relatively little activity for the series and arrives alongside a debut trailer that outlines the game's premise and scope.
Crazy Taxi first gained prominence on Sega’s Dreamcast in 1999 and became known for its frantic, score-driven gameplay and open-city design.
SEGA said the franchise's most recent mobile presence dates to 2017, when Crazy Taxi Tycoon was released as a mobile title.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour positions itself as the next major installment, targeting the next-generation Nintendo hardware.
In a statement accompanying the announcement trailer, SEGA framed the project as a return to the series’ high-energy roots.
The publisher described the new game as a global, high-octane driving experience in which players follow series protagonist Axel as he pursues masked villains who have stolen his taxi.
SEGA emphasized that players will take on extreme missions around the world while earning in-game currency.
The announcement was accompanied by a first-look trailer labeled as the Announcement Trailer.
SEGA has released this trailer to demonstrate tone, global locales, and the mission structure central to the title.
At the time of writing, SEGA has not published a detailed release date beyond the 2027 platform window, nor has it listed additional platforms, pricing, or a precise eShop launch plan for Nintendo Switch 2.
For Nintendo-focused audiences, the choice to bring Crazy Taxi: World Tour to Nintendo Switch 2 underscores the platform’s continued appeal for arcade-style and action-driving experiences.
SEGA’s announcement joins a growing list of third-party titles targeting Nintendo’s next console.
As more official details become available — including release timing, platform distribution, and hands-on previews — SEGA and Nintendo channels such as Nintendo Direct and the eShop will be primary sources for updates.
We will monitor SEGA’s communications and official channels for confirmations and will report verified information as it is released.
