Shenmue III First Teaser Trailer

Shenmue III First Teaser Trailer

Ys Net has released the first teaser trailer for Shenmue III ahead of Gamescom 2017 in Cologne, Germany this week.

The video uses footage taken from a “small slice” of a work-in-progress version of the highly anticipated RPG. In the video you’ll see some characters (both returning and new), and it shows off the how the world may look in the final product.

The rigid character design will be hard to ignore for those hoping for a major upgrade to the series. After all, it’s been more than two years since Shenmue III was unveiled at Sony’s E3 event. Not to mention the 16-year wait since the previous instalment. But, hey, maybe those stiff character models are part of the charm. And, even 18 years down the line, Ryo’s iconic leather jacket still looks as badass as ever.

The 90-second clip reveals little about the game’s plot. Although it seems it picks up where Shenmue II left off, with a “beautiful set piece” in China, according to director and series creator Yu Suzuki. Fortunately, the backdrops look a lot more attractive.

Shenmue III is due out for PlayStation 4 and PC in the second half of 2018. It will be published both physically and digitally by Deep Silver.

Check out the Trailer:

“Making his way from Japan to China on a quest to avenge his father, Ryo Hazuki grows from boy to man, encountering new friends, and foes alike, as he completes his Kung-fu training. Shenmue 3 is the true sequel to the classic open world action RPG games, Shenmue and Shenmue 2. Created for modern platforms (PC and PlayStation 4) and built in Unreal 4, Shenmue 3 will continue the legacy of Shenmue. Shenmue 3 will have familiar elements from its predecessors and new fight mechanics to achieve a new level of interactive storytelling…Our ambition is to deliver a Shenmue experience that will draw in newcomers to the series and reward diehard fans with its deep story and rich gameplay.”
