The will-mue, gained’t-mue of Shenmue will proceed for some time longer, as Shenmue III is delayed as soon as once more. Previously due on August 27th, the open-world brawl-o-RPG is now anticipated on November 19th. It’s the standard purpose: they need extra time to complete and make it higher. Almost three months might sound a good whereas longer to attend however sheesh, it’s been 18 years since Shenmue II so what’s your hurry? Heck, provided that the primary two solely got here to PC in 2018, possibly now you’ll end ’em first. Who’s had time for all that when the Sega collection Shenmue impressed, Yakuza, has additionally began coming to PC?
“Whilst almost ready, the game simply needs a little more refinement before being truly finished,” director Yu Suzuki and publishers Deep Silver mentioned in a joint assertion on Kickstarter as we speak.
“We feel that the extra time we have will help us deliver the true Shenmue experience players around the world deserve! We thank you for your patience and understanding.”
This is nothing. Shenmue III’s 2015 Kickstarter, which was meant to draw funding from publishers greater than crowdfunding actually, pegged it for a December 2017 launch. 16 years after Shenmue II, 18 years after Shenmue II… what’s the distinction?
It happens to me now that “will-mue, won’t-mue” is a pun whose effectiveness varies drastically relying on how typically you’ve been cornered in pubs by individuals who additionally give uninvited lectures on Aeris/Aerith.
