Ys Net and Deep Silver have announced that Shenmue III will no longer be releasing on August 27th but will now be releasing on November 19th for the PlayStation 4 and PC with the publisher squashing rumors of an Xbox One release through Twitter.
The reason given for the delay is that “Whilst almost ready, the game simply needs a little more refinement before being truly finished. We feel that the extra time we have will help us deliver the true Shenmue experience players around the world deserve.” In this third installment of the epic Shenmue series, Ryo seeks to solve the mystery behind the Phoenix Mirror, an artifact sought after by his father’s killer. His journey takes him to an immersive representation of rural China, brimming with activity and surrounded by beautiful landscapes.
