Update: The Kickstarter page has been updated with a response to multiplatform questions and undecided platforms. The FAQ, “Will there be an Xbox/Wii U/Linux/Mac version for Shenmue 3?” has the answer “Currently we are planning development only for PC (Windows) and PS4. Other platforms have not been decided yet.” The FAQ was last updated June 16 2015, at 10:16 AM BST. Only time will tell if Shenmue 3 will come to the Xbox. Seems like it will though because they’re still deciding platforms. Even if it doesn’t, we’ll always have the Windows version.
The long, long, long awaited third installment to the classic series is finally coming back thanks to Kickstarter. If it gets funded (which let’s be honest, it will) you can look forward to playing it on PC. It wants a lofty two million dollars, but as already said, it will almost certainly get it with our help. Yes, it’s for PS4 too, but hopefully we can look past the rivalry to bring gamers the much dreamed-of return of one of the most legendary games in history.
You can pledge to fund the game here.
Get it funded guys!
