I want to make sure there is no confusion with what I am saying before.
It is correct information that Sega is developing full remakes of Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio in Unreal Engine 5 with most of the original staff.
These titles would release before the GaaS reboots.
Internally, both the Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi plans had already been previously delayed two different times, including the original reveal dates for the projects.
The previous plan before this month was to release Jet Set Radio remake and reboot in 2026 and Crazy Taxi in 2027.
Golden Axe was supposed to release individually in 2023 and marketing plans were created. But this plan was then changed.
These remakes are very similar to the original games but with some new features including multiplayer for Crazy Taxi.
And day one cosmetic DLC is currently planned for the remakes. But there are currently not expansion passes planned.
These are not the GaaS Reboot titles.
And now SOA is more involved in development and marketing of Sega titles than before. And communication has become more consistent between SOA and SOJ for these titles as part of global initiative. It is not just for Sonic titles.
