Sega announced today that Shenmue III is coming out on August 27, 2019. The open-world action-adventure game is releasing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

It’s been a long wait for Shenmue III. The first game released for the Dreamcast in 1999, with Shenmue II following in 2001. The games were never big commercial hits, but Shenmue was a pioneer in open world design, giving players the choice to pursue the revenge-focused main plot or waste time doing things like play darts or old Sega arcade games. The series developed a cult following.
