May 07, 2019 After a very, very long wait, Shenmue fans will finally be able to continue the wacky adventures of Ryo Hazuki with Shenmue 3. The new narrative title is releasing this year, and we have all the important tidbits for you below — including its release date and details about the game itself.
The Shenmue 3 announcement was one of the big surprises of E3 2015, leading to an initial clamor of support which saw its Kickstarter campaign well over $2m within hours of launch.Shenmue 3‘s $6.3m totally eclipsed the previous record holder, which raised $5.5m. It’s undoubtedly good news for fans of the earlier Shenmue games, and a sign of how much demand there is for a sequel among the sandbox series’ cult following. But it’s also some distance from the (perhaps over-ambitious) target Suzuki once set. He previously said he needed to raise $10m to make Shenmue 3“a much larger, completely open world” video game.You may recall that the first, first released in Japan in 1999, cost a reported $70m – a staggering sum for the time, and still a significant budget for a piece of entertainment even in 2015. Shenmue 3will, barring some hefty private investment added at a later date, have less than 10 percent of that budget to play with – though its designers at Ys Net will at least be able to save money by using an off-the-peg engine (Unreal Engine 4) and recycled assets from earlier entries in the series.

Kickstarter backers who met certain donation tier requirements will be able to access a demo of Shenmue 3 starting sometime in the second half of September. The demo will reportedly take place in Shenmue 3‘s starting area and will last for about one hour.
Backers will be able to play the demo as much as they want, but the demo will expire after a trial period that’s length hasn’t been confirmed at this time.Matthew Byrd is a staff writer for Den of Geek.
