| Shenmue 3 is coming, and you should be excited! |
For years, dedicated fans, Facebook groups and Twitter users have rallied hard to try and get a continuation of the Shenmue saga in development. The campaign to get Shenmue funded on Kickstarter was immediately successful, overtaking its original target of USD 2 million in less than 9 hours. "We can unfold the continuous story, "Shenmue III will be the story you have waited for. The fate of Shenmue is in your hands now" Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki said defiantly.
There is still a long way to go before we get to see Shenmue again, with financial targets yet to be reached. The estimate on a release date is currently ranging from mid-2017 to late 2017. Either way, most fans won't be too bothered as long as the chance to play Ryo Hazuki again is on the horizon.
