SEGA Revives Classic Franchises Including Jet Set Radio and Streets of Rage

The reboots, attributed to the success of SEGA's 'pillars', will feature the original creator of Jet Set Radio and potentially LizardCube as the developer for Shinobi.

• SEGA is rebooting five classic series for modern audiences: Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage.
• The original creator of Jet Set Radio is returning for the reboot, which is set in an open world take on Tokyo.
• The Streets of Rage reboot now has a title: Streets of Rage: Revolution.
• Speculation suggests that LizardCube may be developing the new Shinobi game, based on the art style presented in a recent management meeting.
• SEGA's decision to revive these franchises is attributed to the success of its 'pillars': Sonic the Hedgehog, Persona, and Like a Dragon (formerly known as Yakuza).
