Shenmue 3 is finally heading to Steam later this month

Shenmue III

Shenmue III sees the eagerly anticipated continuation of the epic story-driven saga. Take control of Ryo Hazuki, a teenage martial artist, determined to unravel the mystery behind his father's murder and to exact revenge on the killer.

Following a year of Epic Games Store exclusivity on PC, Shenmue 3 will be making its way to Steam on 19th November.

Shenmue 3 initially launched at the tail-end of 2019 - a mere 19 years after the previous instalment in Yu Suzuki's legendary series - finally giving extremely patient fans the very long-awaited next chapter in the ongoing saga of Ryo Hazuki and his quest to avenge the murder of his father, one that began on Sega's Dreamcast all the way back in 1999.

Epic's move to snaffle up Shenmue 3 as an exclusive for its PC store, with a bit of help from publisher Deep Silver, proved even more controversial than usual, given the project had been crowdfunded to the record-breaking tune of $7,179,510 from 81,087 backers, many of who were promised and expecting to receive a Steam key on release day.
