When you think of big Sega franchises, you probably think of a certain hedgehog who's recently gone Hollywood for the second time, or perhaps the melodramatic machismo of the Yakuza series. According to a new report from Bloomberg, however, those aren't the names that Sega is trying to make into hit live games — instead, it's late '90s classics Jet Grind Radio (AKA Jet Set Radio) and Crazy Taxi. The Offspring could not be reached for comment.
While this might seem far-fetched, there is some further backing for this claim, as Sega listed the two franchises on an annual report as examples of intellectual property that the company wanted to modernize. The report suggests that Sega is already developing a "big-budget" Crazy Taxi that it hopes will deliver a reliable revenue stream similar to that of Epic Games' epoch-defining hit Fortnite. Good luck with that, guys.
