Shenmue III Out Of The Picture For Xbox One Release, Publisher Shares

Earlier this week, it was discovered through the source code of the updated Shenmue III website that the initially planned PlayStation 4 could possibly be coming to Xbox One at some point in the future.

ResetEra user Spaghetti disclosed the site’s source code which references both Xbox and the brand’s logo as seen from the provided image. Alongside detailing that there will be a Day One Edition as well as a Collector’s Edition for the long awaited third installment which have yet to be officially revealed.

The ResertEra user also shares that traces of Steam have also been deprived from the code, but was not presented in the image which reveals Microsoft’s platform. Pointing at the possibility of the game even breaking to the PC platform as well.

Shortly after the news broke out, users on Twitter asked publisher Deep Silver directly to confirm or not if the upcoming title will actually drop on Xbox One; where the company responded that there is no plans to port the title to the console.

Just more than a week ago, similar news broke out surrounding Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding as the game was reported to be ported to PC following the title’s launch in 2020. Antonio Fucito, who leaked the release date for the title prior to the official reveal, disclosed the game’s possibility of hitting PC.

Shenmue III is currently listed for PlayStation 4 and set to drop on November 19, 2019: which was initially aimed for this coming August, but was abruptly delayed for the third time now to the Fall.
