Shenmue III - PS4

Shenmue III is the long-awaited sequel to the Dreamcast classics Shenmue (1999) and Shenmue II (2001). The brainchild of award-winning game director Yu Suzuki, Shenmue combines the action-packed gameplay of the arcade classic Virtua Fighter with RPG mechanics.

Commonly known as one of the most ambitious game projects in history, Shenmue has captured the imagination of gamers around the world with its unique setting, intimate and cinematic storyline centered around Ryo, realistic battles, and entertaining mini-games. Many of the features introduced in Shenmue are now commonplace in modern games, including the open world and quick time events. Shenmue III was officially announced on stage at Sony's E3 2015 press conference and simultaneously launched on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, breaking two Guinness World Records after raising over $6 million. The game is currently in development at Tokyo-based independent studio Yu Suzuki, Ys Net, and many of the original Shenmue team members have returned for the third installment.
