Shenmue III

ININ Games' acquisition of Shenmue III's publishing rights sparks excitement for potential console expansion. This article explores the implications of this acquisition, specifically the possibility of Shenmue III launching on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

Shenmue III Heads to New Consoles?

The acquisition of Shenmue III's publishing rights by ININ Games is significant news for fans. Originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive (released in 2019), this development opens the door for releases on other platforms, notably Xbox and Switch. While details remain limited, ININ Games' history of multi-platform releases for classic titles suggests a strong likelihood of Shenmue III reaching a wider audience. The game is currently available on PS4 and PC (digital and physical).

A Continued Journey for Ryo Hazuki

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, Shenmue III continued the saga of Ryo Hazuki and Shenhua, as they pursue the killer of Ryo's father. Developed using Unreal Engine 4, the game blends classic aesthetics with modern graphics, providing a vibrant and immersive experience. While receiving a "Mostly Positive" rating on Steam (76%), some players have reported issues such as controller-only play and delayed Steam key delivery. Despite these concerns, demand for Xbox and Switch versions remains high.

A Potential Shenmue Trilogy?

The acquisition could also pave the way for a Shenmue trilogy release under ININ Games. ININ Games' track record of revitalizing classic arcade games on modern platforms, including their current collaboration with HAMSTER Corporation (releasing Taito titles), strengthens this possibility. Shenmue I and II are already available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. While unconfirmed, the potential for a bundled trilogy release is a tantalizing prospect for long-time fans. The future of the Shenmue franchise looks brighter than ever thanks to this strategic move.
