Crazy Taxi World Tour: SEGA Showcases India as the Fifth and Final International Map
The global road trip is officially complete for arcade gaming's wildest cabbies. SEGA and developer Sega Sapporo Studio have unveiled the fifth and final international destination in Crazy Taxi: World Tour: India. Helmed by original 1999 arcade creator Kenji Kanno, this vibrant new locale rounds out the five playable countries available at launch alongside the US West Coast (inspired by San Francisco), Germany, Japan, and Brazil.
Three Interconnected Driving Zones and a Bollywood Set Crash
Designed specifically for high-speed drifts, tight shortcuts, and massive air, the India map is split into three distinct driving zones:
- The City: A tightly packed urban core overflowing with bustling street markets, colorful nightlife, and dense architecture designed for split-second weaving.
- The Countryside: Wide-open rural roads winding at breakneck speed past lush natural scenery and ancient temples.
- The Industrial Zone: Busy trade hubs and factories framed by tributes to India's historic railway lines.
Staying true to the over-the-top spirit of the franchise, the Indian leg of the tour also pays tribute to local cinema. One standout mission tasks players with picking up a frantic movie director holding a camera and launching straight onto a live Bollywood film set mid-shoot.
Global Story Campaign and 8-Player Online Chaos
Beyond classic score-chasing Arcade runs, this entry introduces the series' first dedicated Story Campaign. Players step back into the shoes of series icon Axel as he chases an international car-theft syndicate across all five countries. That solo adventure pairs directly with the eight-player online multiplayer modes previously showcased by the studio, including frantic Pickup Races and the team-based pursuit mode Cops 'N' Cabbies.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour is scheduled to launch in early 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store).

My Perspective
Seeing Axel's yellow convertible fly over a crowded street market with dancers cheering in the backseat immediately brings back that unmistakable Dreamcast energy. What excites me most about Crazy Taxi: World Tour is having original director Kenji Kanno steering the ship at Sega Sapporo Studio: you can tell the team understands that the series lives and dies by its sense of speed and chaotic street layouts. Trading the familiar California hills for ancient Indian temples, historic railway yards, and a live Bollywood movie set feels like the exact jolt of creativity this arcade classic needed.
