Shenmue 3 was delayed into 2019 after previously being scheduled for a 2018 release. The game’s development was aided by a huge crowdfunding effort, which saw developer Ys Net more than triple its initial $2 million goal. The game follows the events of the 2011 Dreamcast classic Shenmue 2, which was recently included in a remastered collection of the first two games in the series.
Shenmue 3 will release on PS4 and PC, though only the PS4 version of the game is available to pre-order on Amazon. The game will see Yu Suzuki return to the series, with the developer continuing the story of protagonist Ryo Hazuki. It will be published by Deep Silver on both platforms.
