After plenty of delays and uncertainty over the future of the game, Koch Media and YS Net Inc. have now locked in a release for Shenmue 3. The sequel will land on August 27th, 2019 for PC and PS4. Yep, that’s another year of waiting and will mark over four years since it was first announced at E3 2015.
To coincide with the release date reveal, a new trailer has also been released that doesn’t really show much gameplay, though it does look like the faces have been improved somewhat.
And the synopsis:
“Shenmue III sees the continuation of the epic story-driven saga. The player controls teenage martial artist Ryo Hazuki as he investigates his father’s murder.
“Players must explore the game’s open world, searching for clues, examining objects and talking to non-player characters for information, taking them further into enemy territory, deeper into mystery, and even closer to their destiny.”
Shenmue 3 has been a crowdfunding success story with fans throwing money at the project in the millions to see some more sailors after years of the series being AWOL. Early signs have suggested that Shenmue 3 will be very much like the old games, for better or worse.
