Crazy taxi is reported to be a year in development, with release still a few years away and having two other, unnamed games (one of them FPS) under the same umbrella — Sega considers “Super Game” to be a brand, not a single project—Also works.
The Bloomberg report Statuses that Sega is looking at Fortnite business model for both titles, aiming to “grow recurring revenue streams and build online communities”.
