Shenmue launched in 1999 as perhaps the most ambitious - and definitely the most expensive - game ever made up to that point. Now, 25 years later, fans are still waiting on the conclusion to the multi-game saga, and while news has been quiet in recent years, Shenmue 3 just got a new publisher that's promising the series ain't dead yet.
Developer Ys Net is now partnering with publisher ININ Games on Shenmue 3. Why does a five-year-old game getting a new publisher matter? Well, in a press release, the new publisher says it's known for "celebrating beloved titles and bringing them to new platforms," offering just a dash of hope that Shenmue 3 might escape the bonds of its exclusivity to PC and PS4.
