Shenmue 3 pre-orders start today and is headed towards full-scale production
But fear not! Shenmue series creator Yu Suzuki updated us on the state of the game in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, which the folks at gematsu have translated and also in an update in their Kickstarter campaign:
"Development is entering the final stage headed towards full-scale production. Early in the new year, I think we’ll be able to show you things such as new videos.
“We will continue progressing with development so that our backers and those who experience the world of Shenmue for the first time can do so with pleasure.
“Also, at noon on December 15, we will start pre-order sales for the PC version of Shenmue III, which received a lot of requests.
Those interested in Shenmue III, please check the official website."
The Kickstarter campaign even accompanied the update with new work-in-progress visuals:
So there you have it! Shenmue 3 is alive and well, and apparently coming next December!
