It looks like fans of the cult-classic Shenmue series will need to wait a while to see the next installation. During an unique occasion that was commemorating the Shenmue franchise, the creator of the series, Yu Suzuki, discussed that there are no strong plans for Shenmue IV right now.
Eager Shenmue fans thought that something was developing due to some strange teases from 110 Industries late in 2015 and Suzuki’s look at the publisher’s Tokyo Game Show discussion. The business later on shared a picture of an approaching action video game called Wanted: Dead and reacted to fan remarks that recommended that the publisher must coordinate with Suzuki for a brand-new Shenmue video game.
Speaking to IGN Japan, Suzuki likewise stated that he has a vision for the theoretical next Shenmue video game which he would like it to be more friendly for brand-new gamers. Back in 2020, Suzuki thought that a future video game in the series will occur. He stated, “With Shenmue 3 I created a game for the fans, but if I have the opportunity to make Shenmue 4 – and I think I will – I know how to satisfy casual users, so I want to make a game that everyone can be satisfied with.”
What is happening with the Shenmue franchise?
Shenmue 3 was a long-awaited addition to the series that fans of the series had actually quit hope of ever seeing. There was an 18-year space in between the releases of Shenmue 2 and Shenmue 3 And it took a mix of a Kickstarter and the support of Sony to money the 3rd video game. However, that might not hold true for the next video game. If Suzuki can protect a handle 110 Industries, then things will look brighter for the future ofShenmue And, ideally, the wait for the next video game will not be as long.
Thankfully, Shenmue fans have not been left entirely in the dry just recently. Shenmue The Animation has actually mostly measured up to its prospective as an adaption of the very first video game.
