Sega has revealed India as the fifth and final playable international map for Crazy Taxi: World Tour, alongside Japan, Brazil, Germany and the US West Coast, according to IGN Video Games and Final Weapon. Scheduled to launch in early 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, the game is the first major series entry since 2002's High Roller, IGN Video Games and Final Weapon reported.

India Map Zones and Bollywood Tease

The India map is divided into three zones named City, Countryside and Industrial, IGN Video Games reported. Players will drive through vibrant marketplaces, nightlife and architecture in the City zone, ancient temples and natural landscapes in the Countryside zone, and trade hubs alongside one of the world's oldest trains in the Industrial zone, according to IGN Video Games. The reveal trailer also shows a camera-holding passenger who appears to be a director, teasing a sequence on the set of a Bollywood film, IGN Video Games noted.

Story Mode, Multiplayer and Soundtrack

In single-player story mode, protagonist Axel pursues a gang of international car thieves worldwide to reclaim his stolen vehicle while picking up passengers in each country, IGN Video Games reported. Multiplayer details from a closed beta signup page outline two modes: Pickup Race, where up to six players compete to drop off passengers within a time limit, and Cops 'N' Cabbies, a team mode pitting cabbies against pursuing police, IGN Video Games said. Final Weapon added that the soundtrack brings back tracks from The Offspring and Bad Religion, including "All I Want," "Change the World," "Ten in 2010," "Them and Us" and "Inner Logic," while a separate film adaptation written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand is in production. The single-player story mode and Arcade Mode are separate from multiplayer and do not require an internet connection, while both online multiplayer modes support Ranked Match and Custom Match, according to GAMES.GG.
