We've known for a while that One Punch Man director Chikara Sakurai and producer Yu Suzuki were working together to bring us a Shenmue anime, and now we've got our first look at the Cruncyroll/Adult Swim production in action - and it looks pretty decent! With an understandable fo
Dear Shenmue family, we've collected your feedback on various issues that were occurring in the Steam version of Shenmue III. Please see below the fixes that have been implemented. An issue with achievements not unlocking in the following three DLCs has been fixed. "Battle Rally"
We are working on the following two changes for Shenmue III on Steam: 1) Achievements not unlocking for the "Battle Rally", "Story Quest Pack" & "Big Merry Cruise" DLCs. 2) Keyboard UI display: Keyboard UI will properly display when playing using a keyboard. The update is pla
Today, I invite you to go back in time and visit China to search for a little bit of vengeance. Specifically, back to spring 1987, to help a young Ryu Hazuki hunt for his father’s killer. Of course, you could partake in a spot of tortoise-racing or chicken-chasing while you’re it
Following a year of Epic Games Store exclusivity on PC, Shenmue 3 will be making its way to Steam on 19th November. Shenmue 3 initially launched at the tail-end of 2019 - a mere 19 years after the previous instalment in Yu Suzuki's legendary series - finally giving extremely pati
The road to Shenmue 3's PC release was, if we're being honest, a little unusual. Fans were ecstatic when the game was first unveiled and its Kickstarter went live, pledging over $6 million to bring the long-awaited sequel to life. Then came news that it would be a timed Epic Game
Five of the Best is a weekly series about the small details we rush past when we're playing but which shape a game in our memory for years to come. Details like the way a character jumps or the title screen you load into, or the potions you use and maps you refer back to. We've t
Hello and welcome to the second of our Clash of Fans write-ups . This week we'll be getting together in pairs (virtually) and forcing each other to play a beloved game. Then we'll chat about what we made of it all. Next up is Old School RuneScape and Shenmue! Matt: I have to admi
Koch Media have announced the very first DLC for Shenmue 3 , Battle Rally, will be released on Tuesday 21st January. By the looks of things it’s inviting players to take part in a race (on foot I think?), and you’ll even be able to play as different characters for the first time.
Shenmue 3's first DLC has just been announced - and it's called Battle Rally. Releasing 21st January, the DLC will offer "fresh gaming activities in a race unlike any other, as contestants engage in head to head battles whilst racing their way through the course." For the first t
Editor's note: Shenmue's a game that can do funny things to people. First time round I was obsessed with AM2's detail-rich world, and its take on a place that seemed oh-so-real - Japan in the mid-80s, specifically life in the unremarkable town of Yokosuka. So obsessed was I that
Developer: Ys Studio Publisher: Deep Silver Release: Out now On: Windows From: Epic Game Store Price: 45/ 50/$50 Nothing better captures the magic of Shenmue III than its save files. On one line, the current date and time; above it, the date and time this particular save will whi
At Digital Foundry we've talked about 'impossible ports' before - games like Doom 2016 and The Witcher 3 on Switch that seem to deny technological limitations and still bring the essence of the original experiences to a new audience. Shenmue 3 is something very different, but equ
Against all odds, here it is. 18 years on from the last episode, and well after most had given up hope that Ryo Hazuki would ever find his way out of the Guilin cave where Shenmue 2 so abruptly ended, perhaps the most remarkable thing about Shenmue 3 is that it exists at all. Eve
It’s only gone and come out, hasn’t it? Four years after its controversial, record-breaking $6 million Kickstarter campaign, Shenmue 3 is finally a game you can pick up and play. Blimey, it’s only been 18 years since the last one. Shenmue’s had a rough road to release, full of pu
The announcement of Shenmue 3 several years ago is one of those moments I never expected - something which seemed like an impossibility became reality. Over 18 years after the release of Shenmue 2, the story of Ryo Huzuki would continue on modern day hardware with PlayStation 4 a
Playing Shenmue 3's recently released demo is like coming across some strange relic, unearthed and polished off by curious digital archaeologists looking to understand turn of the century video games. The pace is stately to the point of being somnambulistic, its voice acting feel
Shenmue 3 is now less than two months from release - and if that makes you very excited, then you'll probably want to indulge in its new Tokyo Games Show trailer below. Rather than focusing on plot or action, this video takes us on a quiet, three-minute tour of some locations. Th
As Eurogamer turns 20, we thought, you know what? It's not all about us. It's also about the developers, the people behind the virtual magic that inspired the creation of Eurogamer two decades ago. Without the developers, we wouldn't be here. And so, we thought we'd ask a few of
A lot of Shenmue happens in the spaces between the game. I remember my time in Yu Suziki’s sprawling RPGs not as some grand unveiling of my destiny, but as a dude collecting capsule toys, getting a job as a forklift driver, and hanging out at the arcade. I lived a rich little lif
