Crazy Taxi: World Tour has received a new trailer showing off its Brazil setting, giving players another look at how Sega is expanding the series beyond its familiar city streets.
The upcoming game is scheduled for release in 2027 and will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC and PS5.
The latest footage focuses on Brazil, where busy urban roads and coastal routes provide another environment for the series' fast driving and passenger delivery gameplay.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour is also being positioned as a free to play title, marking a major change for the long running franchise.
Brazil Adds Another Setting to Crazy Taxi: World Tour
The new trailer highlights crowded streets, coastal scenery and the type of traffic heavy environments that fit the series' arcade style.
Players will once again be racing against the clock while picking up passengers and trying to reach destinations as quickly as possible.
Pedestrians, traffic and unconventional routes remain part of the experience, with the game continuing the exaggerated driving style associated with earlier Crazy Taxi titles.
| Detail | Information | |
|---|---|---|
| Game | Crazy Taxi: World Tour | |
| Release window | 2027 | |
| Platforms | Xbox Series X | S, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch 2 |
| Business model | Free to play | |
| New location shown | Brazil | |
| Other location shown previously | San Francisco | |
| Multiplayer mode shown | Pickup Race | |
| Additional mode | Cops N' Cabbies |
Brazil is not the first location Sega has shown for World Tour.
Previous footage highlighted San Francisco, and the game's title suggests that additional cities and regions will form part of the wider experience.
That international structure represents one of the clearest changes from older entries in the series.
Multiplayer Will Be an Important Part of the Game
World Tour is also expanding Crazy Taxi with multiplayer modes.
One of the modes shown previously is Pickup Race, which adds competitive multiplayer to the usual passenger focused driving.
Another announced mode is Cops N' Cabbies.
Full details about Cops N' Cabbies have not been provided yet, but its inclusion suggests the game will offer more than standard passenger delivery challenges.
The multiplayer focus could help give the game more variety, especially if Sega continues adding new locations, modes and activities after launch.
First Mainline Crazy Taxi in More Than Two Decades
Crazy Taxi: World Tour will be the first mainline entry in the franchise since 2002.
The new project keeps the fast arcade driving that defined earlier games while expanding the concept with a broader world, multiplayer features and a live service style free to play structure.
Sega has also been gradually revealing more of the game through trailers rather than presenting every feature at once.
The Brazil footage follows earlier looks at San Francisco and Pickup Race.
World Tour has also attracted criticism over the use of generative AI for some background assets. That decision has become one of the more controversial aspects of the project ahead of release.
Sega has not announced a specific launch date within 2027.
For now, the Brazil trailer provides another look at the scale of the project and confirms that World Tour intends to take Crazy Taxi beyond a single city. More locations, gameplay modes and release details are expected to be revealed before the game arrives next year.
