Brazil has been unveiled as the fourth destination in SEGA’s Crazy Taxi: World Tour, following Japan, Germany, and a West Coast map rooted in San Francisco. The new trailer presents a Rio de Janeiro-inspired environment, mixing beaches, scenic views, and lively nightlife with dense urban streets.
The map will feature recognizable businesses including Habib’s, Fogo de Chão, and Fast Shop. Producer Kenji Kanno said Brazil’s contrasting streetscapes and contemporary city life shaped the team’s approach, and he hopes players enjoy the country’s beauty and energy. The game is planned to offer five open-world maps.
The reveal could affect players by offering a virtual, game-like encounter with Rio de Janeiro’s streets, beaches, and brands, potentially shaping how some international audiences picture Brazil. Featured businesses such as Habib’s, Fogo de Chão, and Fast Shop may see added visibility among gamers, though any real-world commercial or tourism impact would likely depend on the game’s reach and reception. Fans of arcade driving games may also view the expanding map roster as a reason to stay engaged with the title.
