Shenmue III isn’t coming out in 2018 because, well, it’s Shenmue

At the 2015 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, Sony invited Shenmue creator and former Sega developer Yu Suzuki on stage to announce that he was making Shenmue III as a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter. That campaign raised $6.3 million with plans to release it in December 2017. After missing that date, the open-world forklift-driving simulator is getting another delay from sometime this year to sometime in 2019.

European publisher Deep Silver, a subsidiary of THQ Nordic, revealed the delay on its website.
