If you thought that the last time Shenmue III was delayed it would be the last, you'd be forgiven. The game was initially slated for a 2018 release after a successful Kickstarter campaign but it was delayed to August 27, 2019. This much anticipated title even seemed to be on track to maintain this release date after we saw new footage of the game a few months ago.

However, in an update to backers, Yu Suzuki & Deep Silver announced today that Shenmue III's release has been pushed back again, this time for November 19th, 2019. The Kickstarter news update reads the following:

Whilst almost ready, the game simply needs a little more refinement before being truly finished.

We feel that the extra time we have will help us deliver the true Shenmue experience players around the world deserve!

Shemue III now releases for PCs and PS4 this November 19th.

Shenmue 3...more like Half Life 3.

Feels like this game has been delayed a dozen times now.

It's only another 3 months. Polish and bug fixing is worth that delay.

Hey, I don't mind that. Like Miyamoto once said, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

This is what we call development hell.

Star Fox Zero, a Miyamoto game, was also delayed. And it was still bad.

I had the chance to backout but I didn't take it. This is the only thing I ever kickstarted. I knew it was risky as hell, and I wish I didn't do it.

100GB for PC?

I hope is not that way on ps4, the game won't even fit on the disc.

No big deal downloading big updates is a good thing as feels like Yr getting money worth from Yr broadband supplier

I wasn't going to buy this game anyways, but if I was, I'd be pirating it by now. Too many delays.

 

[Paulsar99]

Well atleast they didn't delay it for another year.

Sega delays a game, nothing new here.

Sega has nothing to do with this. Yu Suzuki got the license when they dropped it, despite that they still had the rights to 1 and 2 that's why they were able to do the HD collection for those.

Still even so, not surprised.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was also around 100 GB. They used a second disc for install. I assume this will do the same.
