Shenmue III - Development Report Vol. 3

Shenmue 3 Won’t Be Featured at E3 2017, Latest Update Reveals New Character

In its latest “Dev Report Vol. 3” update, the Shenmue 3 team has revealed a new character for the game, along with some basic character animation in the Unreal Development Kit. At the same time, the team also states that they won’t be present at any gaming shows this June. Instead, they want to devote their time to the game’s development instead.
