The inevitable Shenmue III delay has arrived! Shenmue III will now release in the 2nd half of 2018.
It had previously been slated for a December 2017 release but as was previously revealed, Shenmue III was not scheduled for an appearance at this year’s E3 which put a 2017 release into doubt.
Yu Suzuki announced the delay himself in the latest Kickstarter update and has said, “By utilising new technologies, we have been able to discover new possibilities and expressions. In many ways, the game has become bigger and more beautiful than I initially expected. We do, however, need more time to deliver the game to you.”
Shenmue III will not be published by SEGA but instead by Sony. The game will eventually launch on PC and PS4.
