Shenmue III has been a long time coming, and thanks to a majorly successful Kickstarter campaign, the game is finally being made. And as such, the team are updating players with what they can expect from the game. For the first time, some footage has been shown of it. We have it below.
A major staff member for the original Shenmue is returning for the highly anticipated Shenmue III. In an update on the game’s Kickstarter page, Ys Net revealed that SubDirector Keiji Okayasu, who worked on the original Shenmue game, is returning to work on Shenmue III.
Whether or not a retail version of Shenmue III will actually be available upon launch for consoles is still not clear. According to VG24/7, an email exchange with the developer Ys Net stated that the company was still unsure whether it would make a physical edition of the long-awaited sequel available for PlayStation 4 players to buy.
Yesterday, the $2 million funding goal for Shenmue III was smashed in just a few hours. However, despite the obvious success of the Kickstarter campaign and the intense interest in the game, questions were raised about how such an ambitious title was ever going to be able to be developed with such a tiny budget. This is especially when you consider that the first two titles in the franchise are some of the most expensive games to ever be made.
Fans have been waiting for this day for more than a decade, but it is now officially confirmed that the final act of Shenmue will be released in the form of Shenmue III. During the Sony media briefing last night, series creator Yu Suzuki revealed that he was attempting to fund the game through Kickstarter. With a modest total of $2 million, the campaign has already blasted through that total with less than 24 hours gone.
