Shenmue 3 has been delayed until next year, publisher Deep Silver announced. It was due to release during the second half of this year, but developer Ys Net will now take extra time to “polish the quality of the game even further, to the high standards it deserves and release the product in the best possible time frame”.
Game director Yu Suzuki apologised for the delay in a Kickstarter post, saying: “After much discussion with our partners, Deep Silver, we have concluded that extending the release will allow us to deliver Shenmue III at its best. We promise to use this time to improve the quality of Shenmue III.”
This doesn’t come as much of a shocker since Ys Net had already pushed it back once, having it initially penciled in a late 2017 release date. It was successfully crowdfunded to the tune of $6,333,295 in 2015, which made it the richest video game Kickstarter campaign of all time.
