The last installment of the series, Shenmue 2, was published in 2001 and Suzuki has already stated he wants to make a quadrilogy out of it. Moreover, they are currently aiming for a 2018 release, which surely sets the minds of all loyal fans in peace.

Its creator, Yu Suzuki, has announced that the game will be published by Deep Silver. Sega played no role in the game's development but provided Suzuki with assets from the previous games and helped promote the game in Japan.Shenmue 3 has become more of a reality today.

Studio Hop: Deep Silver takes over as the game's publisher when the previous two games were published and developed by Sega.Sequel Gap: The game was released 18 years after Shenmue II, which was released in 2001.It was delayed again to improve the quality and polish of the game, with a set release date of August 2019, and was delayed again to November 2019, when it finally released for good. Suzuki claims the reason for the delay was because the modern development tools allowed the developers to do more than what they thought was possible, causing the project to grow bigger than originally intended. Schedule Slip: Shenmue III was originally slated to be released in late 2017, but was pushed back to late 2018.At E3 2015, he announced a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign to help get Shenmue III off the ground, which achieved its $2,000,000 goal in nine hours. Suzuki had always wanted to continue the saga, and has mentioned in interviews that fans would always ask him if the third game would ever be made.

It was later confirmed that SEGA had given Yu Suzuki the Shenmue license, but that he could not do an HD remaster of the original two because SEGA still owns the license to one and two which thankfully in 2018, SEGA announced a Compilation Rerelease of the first two games. In actually, it's just a publishing and marketing deal, and that Sony wouldn't see any of the development money.

Network to the Rescue: Sony is working as a partner with the developers to get the third game off the ground.

Name's the Same: The 'Beats of Rage' store in Niaowu shares the same name as a fanmade Beat 'em Up game, which itself is a tribute to Sega's own Streets of Rage series.
