The story continues as Ryo and Shenhua start off on a new journey that will take them farther into enemy territory, deeper into mystery, and ever closer to their destiny. Will the mystery of the mirrors be revealed? How is Ryo’s father connected to all of this? Will Ryo track down the Chi You Men cartel and face Lan Di in a final showdown?
Shenmue 2 was released 14 years ago and fans have been clamoring for a continuation to the epic story. Originally released on Dreamcast, Shenmue was the biggest video game of all-time, but its success failed to match the budget. A sequel was released was release in North America on Xbox due to exclusivity and the story has always remained unfinished. Now fans finally have their chance to continue the story and see Shenmue 3 finally released.
