Ever since Shenmue 3‘s announcement at last year’s E3 and the subsequent funding it saw on Kickstarter, details have been rather quiet on the game. The odd few development updates have been released but we’re not closer to knowing an exact release date, both for PS4 and PC, than before.
That being said, it’s at least possible that Shenmue 3 appears at E3 2016. Shibuya Productions president and CEO Cedric Biscay, whose company is publishing Shenmue 3, has tweeted out a couple of interesting things lately. In one tweet with creator Yu Suzuki, Biscay said, “We are preparing great things.”
In the next tweet, he’s with Suzuki and others with the caption, “Big meeting for Big game! #shenmue3 cc @yu_suzuki_jp @ShibuyaProd”
Finally he tweeted, “Sorry for the teasing but I am playing #shenmue3 and I am loving it !!”
You might say there’s no real confirmation that Shenmue 3 makes an appearance but honestly, there’s no reason it shouldn’t, especially with teases happening this close to the expo. With the game occupying a very large stage last year, why wouldn’t it at least offer an update? Regardless, stay tuned for Sony’s E3 press conference on June 13th to learn more.
