In a move that has caught the attention of retro gaming enthusiasts, Inin Games has acquired the publishing rights to the beloved title, Shenmue 3. This development comes on the heels of their collaboration with YsNet, the game’s developer, on the project Air Twister.
Shenmue 3, the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Shenmue saga, hit the shelves in 2019, following its announcement in 2015. Back then, the publishing responsibilities were under the care of Deep Silver.
In a statement expressing their enthusiasm, Inin Games shared, “We are truly honored to carry the torch for Shenmue during this pivotal time in the series’ history.”
The company reflected on the innovative journey of Shenmue and its impact over the past two decades. “Our commitment to honoring Ryo Hazuki’s adventures remains unwavering, whether for die-hard fans or those just starting to explore the series.”
With this shift in publishing rights, Inin Games promises a fresh chapter for Shenmue. Exciting celebrations and anniversary surprises are on the horizon, as they aim to keep the spirit of this cherished series alive and thriving. Fans should stay tuned for forthcoming announcements detailing their plans for Shenmue’s future.
