SEGA's New Sapporo Studio Contributing to AAA Titles Like Crazy Taxi PS5

SEGA is cooking a new Crazy Taxi game, among several other reboots or revivals. While little information is known about this rebooted arcade driving outing, an interview with its recently established Sapporo studio reveals it’s contributing to the project, which it describes as a AAA title.

“We’re responsible for titles such as Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis and Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage in co-operation with the bases in Tokyo and overseas,” president Takaya Segawa told The Japan Times. “We are also participating in the development of AAA titles, including Crazy Taxi. At present, we don’t have any titles developed independently by the studio, but we intend to do so in the future.”

The article goes on to delve into the culture of the Sapporo office, which was founded during the pandemic. Effectively, it’s delivering a fulfilling work experience for staff outside of the rigours and expenses associated with Tokyo; commutes are quicker and costs are lower, for example.
