Sega announces 5 reboots of classic games, including Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi – WGB, Home of AWESOME Reviews

Sega popped up during The Game Awards to deliver a trailer for not one, not two but five games that are all currently in development. The twist is that all five games are based on classic Sega properties.

Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi, Shinobi and Streets of Rage were all shown off in the trailer. Tantalisingly, the trailer also mentioned “& more,” hinting at even more classic Sega games making an appearance.

But, the trailer was also short on details and Sega aren’t saying too much. At first glance the games look like remasters, but in a statement Sega specifically uses the term “reimagining” which hints at these projects being reboots.

“In recent years, Sonic the Hedgehog has forged new paths for Sega, bringing the franchise to life and reaching new audiences in ways we had only dreamed of in the past,” Sega exec Shuji Utsumi said “Building off that success, we are digging into our legacy and reimagining several franchises to bring these games to more audiences around the globe.”

“Today’s announcement is just the start of our initiative. First and foremost, our ambition will be to create great games with memorable characters and worlds. We hope fans of all ages will look towards our future with anticipation as we release these projects in the coming years.”

According to The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley, these games will be coming out across the next few years.
