## Netflix and Sega team up
The two companies signed a deal covering multiple movie and TV adaptations of Sega games. More than one project is already moving.
## Crazy Taxi becomes a comedy
First out of the gate is a film based on Crazy Taxi, apparently a live-action comedy. Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, who wrote last year's Naked Gun reboot, are on the script.
## The game lands first
Crazy Taxi World Tour arrives next year, and the movie will likely follow it rather than lead. Netflix is letting the game set the table.
## A crime film from RGG
Stranger Than Heaven, the next game from the Yakuza and Like A Dragon studio, is getting a live-action crime movie. The game hits PC and consoles on January 15.
## Sonic goes preschool
Another Sonic animated series follows Sonic Prime, this one aimed at pre-schoolers with attitude baked in.

> a little edge, a little attitude and a lot of 'that's my crew' wish fulfillment
## The queue is enormous
Also in development: live-action Assassin's Creed in ancient Rome, an Overcooked cooking competition, a Diablo animated series, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season two next month.
## Key takeaway

Netflix is treating video game libraries as a content pipeline, adapting Sega's catalog across comedy, crime drama, and preschool animation at once.
