Tonight during The Game Awards Sega showed up and dropped a short trailer announcing multiple new games based on classic franchises including Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi, and more.

Sega says this is a “new era” for the company and confirmed that Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Crazy Taxi are all getting new games and these entries are now in development. It was quite a reveal and the news that even one of these beloved franchises is getting a modern follow-up, let alone all of them, is exciting.

After the announcement trailer, Geoff explained that these games would be released over the next several years. In the trailer, which features a couple playing games before a power outage, we can see a few snippets of early gameplay from these games.

I’ll fully admit that I’m very excited about the new Crazy Taxi. It better have some Offspring in it. And Pizza Hut ads.

Sega hasn’t shared much information about these new games, as they appear to be still in early development, but the company is asking people to sign up for more information which will come later.

In October, Sega made headlines after it was reported the company had canceled its most expensive game—Hyenas—before it was even released. It’s believed that this was one of Sega’s “Super Games.” It was reported that the game cost more than $70 million, the budget of Shenmue.

We will have to wait and see if any of these new entries in the company’s popular franchises are super games. At the very least, the world is better now because Jet Set Radio is coming back and that’s a great way to end 2023.
