Shenmue will have familiar elements from its predecessors and new fight mechanics to achieve a new level of interactive story telling, If successfully funded, which it now id, Shenmue 3 will be available for release on PS4 and PC.

Details revealed on their Kickstarter page goes on to say ‘ If Shenmue 3 was going to get made, I wanted to make it with the fans. Through Kickstarter, I knew that could happen.
