During its initial reveal in 2021, Crazy Taxi spiritual successor Taxi Chaos whipped gamers into a minor frenzy, fuelled in part by its bright and vibrant visuals.

The retro re-releases keep on coming, with news that Nightdive are remastering Lucasfilm Games’ 1997 wild west shooter Outlaws, along with its 1998 Handful of Missions expansion.
