What is unclear is whether or not any of the Taxi Driver cast will lend their likenesses or voices to the game. However, De Niro's character will once again be the protagonist, according to Ken Gold, vice president of marketing for Majesco. "Nominated for four Academy Awards, Taxi Driver remains one of the most iconoclastic films of our time," he said. "Compelling and powerful, the movie ensnares viewers in the seedy urban world of New York cabbie Travis Bickle, and we hope to do likewise with our game."

Slightly less acclaimed was Whirl Tour, the sole game from California-based Papaya Studios, which will develop Taxi Driver. However, the developer was happy to share details of Taxi Driver with GameSpot. "The game picks up where the movie left off," said the developer in a statement. "As Travis reminisces about his bloody rescue of the young prostitute Iris, it seems the violent catharsis and recovery that ended the film has turned his life around. However, a terrible sequence of events finds him unable to stop the murder of someone very special to him. His ensuing quest for revenge finds Travis Bickle once again on an inexorable path towards violence. Players will fight their way through the mean streets of New York City in Travis's bid for vengeance, to bring the ruthless rain that will clean the scum off the streets once and for all."

Papaya also said Taxi Driver will be a "third-person action game comprised of both story-driven, on-foot missions and driving-style missions in a vast, sandbox city environment." It is being written by the team behind Dead to Rights and will be released next year to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the film's release. And although all three next-generation consoles are expected to be on the market in 2006, neither Majesco nor Papaya announced any specific platforms for the game.
