SEGA’s Crazy Taxi: World Tour now has its full travel itinerary. India is the fifth and final international map for the arcade revival, IGN reported on November 13, closing out a lineup that already covered the US West Coast, Germany, Japan and Brazil.
The India map will feature three zones: City, Countryside, and Industrial. IGN’s coverage of the official trailer describes them as celebrating the country’s many cultures and hallmarks. The footage teases a Bollywood film set, complete with a camera-toting passenger who appears to be a movie director. Until SEGA confirms it as a launch feature, that set piece stays a tease rather than a promise.
Five stops, four continents, one stolen taxi
The world-spanning roster says a lot about the scale SEGA is aiming for with its revival of the classic arcade series. Rather than rebuilding one city, World Tour commits to five maps across four continents, from the US West Coast to Brazil’s streets and now India’s three zones. Between fares, a story mode puts original driver Axel behind the wheel, chasing a gang of international car thieves around the globe to recover his stolen ride.
Multiplayer is along for the trip. A closed network test, whose signup page SEGA published ahead of the reveal, offered two modes: Pickup Race, in which up to 6 players race to drop off as many passengers as they can within a time limit for cash, and Cops ‘N’ Cabbies, which splits players into a cab team and a police team in pursuit. Those modes describe the test build, so how many ship at launch is unconfirmed.
One more ride before 2027
IGN previewer Scott White described the game as an “almost refreshingly uncomplicated palette cleanser free of skill trees, crafting systems, and the other chaff that seems to be in every game you play nowadays.”
That simplicity is the sales pitch: no skill trees, no crafting, just fares, timers and speed. SEGA is both developer and publisher, per the game’s Steam store page, which lists it in the Action, Adventure and Racing genres.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour launches in early 2027 on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and PC. Steam lists the release only as 2027, with no price yet announced.
