Shenmue III is an upcoming action-adventure game that is being developed by Neilo and Ynet and will be published by Deep Silver. The game is a direct sequel to the preceding Shenmue I and II games which were released back in 1991 and 2001 respectively. The original Shenmue game when released back in 1991 was the most expensive game ever released until that point. The cost is reported to have been somewhere around 47 Million USD. Both of the preceding games have done exceptionally well in the market and its immense popularity and success led fans to start a petition for the third Shenmue game. A Kickstarter was set up for the game in 2015 to meet the financial requirements to develop the game and ever since the game has been in development. Today, however, we have news that Shenmue III Announcement will be held tomorrow at Gamescom 2018.
