PS4 "Shenmue III - Retail Day 1 Edition" will be released in Japan on Tuesday, November 19!

Deep Silver announced that "Shenmue III - Retail Day 1 Edition" ("Shenmue III") for PlayStaton4 will be released in Japan on Tuesday, November 19, 2019.


Shenmue III" is the first title in the "Shenmue" action-adventure series released for Sega's Dreamcast home video game console in 18 years. The project attracted worldwide attention with over $7 million in investments and more than 80,000 backers.


The latest title in the "Shenmue" franchise, which pioneered the 3D open-world genre and is said to be one of the most significant game-changing franchises in history, allows players to "experience" the vast world to their heart's content.


Players take on the role of Ryo Basuki, a young martial arts master, and walk through every nook and cranny of the rich natural setting and lifestyle of the city, talking with unique characters and enjoying a variety of activities.


In addition, players can learn new skills and train themselves to confront powerful enemies who block their way. However, there is no set "strategy" in Shenmue III. Players who enter this world can decide their own journey, just as they would their own lives.


We are thrilled to bring Shenmue III to Japan from Deep Silver," said Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media, which owns Deep Silver! One of the most anticipated games of 2019, Shenmue III is Deep Silver's first game to be released for the Japanese market.
We hope that you will take a look at this new adventure directed and written by the creator of "Shenmue," Mr. Yutaka Suzuki himself.

<Message from Yutaka Suzuki

I am very happy to present the latest "Shenmue" game to the people of Japan. I am sure that fans of the previous title will feel nostalgic about the returning "Shenmue" world. Although the story is a continuation of the previous title, we have made many innovations that will be enjoyed by those who are playing Shenmue for the first time, so please pick up a copy and feel the daily life in the world of Shenmue.
