Back in 2015 we learned that SEGA Studios Australia had created artwork for a Crazy Taxi 4 pitch that had likely taken place years earlier. Just this week, with the announcement of Crazy Taxi: World Tour, a former SEGA Creative Assembly staffer who worked at the Brisbane, Australia offices from 2009-2010 revealed details of a Crazy Taxi: World Tour pitch that may have tied in with the previously revealed pitch art.
SEGA Brisbane, formerly Creative Assembly Australia, has revealed that they are indeed working on a new game and that ever since the critically panned Stormrise, the team has been invested in heavily for higher standards. Speaking during an interview, SEGA Vice-President of Production Gary Dunn said;
“Suffice to say since Stormrise’s completion, the studio down under has been heavily invested in, entirely new leadership team from the likes of EA, Ubisoft… the people who made Stormrise aren’t the people who populate, at least the leadership, that studio. There’s a new set of standards in place, they’re doing a very different game”
But the interview itself is a fairly long and details more than just one branch of Creative Assembly and goes on to talk about the new Alien title and how the team wanted to work on it soon after completing Viking. Well worth a read for anyone who are interested in either title. To read the full interview, click on the link below.
