Earlier this month, we learned that Sega's long-rumored "Super Game" was actually a series of "AAA games." According to Bloomberg, the first two are "big-budget" Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi reboots.
Crazy Taxi is reportedly a year in development, with a release date still a few years away, and two other, unnamed games (one of them an FPS) are also being worked on under the same umbrella—Sega sees "Super Game" as a label, not a single project.
According to Bloomberg, Sega is looking at the Fortnite business model for both titles, with the goal of "developing recurring revenue sources and building online communities." It's worth noting that Sega has previously stated that the "Super Game" project is a possible testing ground for NFTs.
Jet Set Radio, first released on the Dreamcast, then remade for the Xbox and re-released on a variety of more modern hardware, was a standout game on a standout console, featuring a synthesis of music, graffiti, and skating that few (if any) games have been able to match even 20 years later.
The announcement of a new game in the series comes long after fans had given up hope of ever seeing a new release; a different team has since stepped into what they thought was a void to create Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, a game so similar to what Jet Set offered that it even features the original's composer Hideki Naganuma.
Crazy Taxi, on the other hand, began in the arcade before becoming one of Sega's most popular Dreamcast games (and beyond). Unlike Jet Sets' near-complete radio silence over the last 20 years, it has managed a number of sequels and spin-offs over the years, though this sounds like it could be the first proper racing release since Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars for the PSP.
