Two of Sega’s most iconic series from the Dreamcast era could be making a return, and Sega has sent out a survey that wants to know if you want them back.
Sega has had a very narrow focus over the last decade. Aside from its PC studios pumping out Football Manager and Total War games on an almost yearly basis, its output has been mainly Yakuza, Sonic the Hedgehog and Persona. While Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Persona 5 Royal rank as some of the best games of all time in my eyes, Sega has an extremely strong back-catalogue that isn’t getting utilised. Thankfully we’ve seen a shift in the last few years with Super Monkey Ball and Samba De Amigo making their return. But it sounds like two Dreamcast greats are next in line.
Rumours of revivals of Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio first surfaced around a year ago, with a report from Bloomberg (Via Polygon) saying that Sega wants to reboot the series as a part of its “Super-Game Initiative” that parent company Sega Sammy unveiled in November 2021.
