Shenmue III: Launch Trailer and First 40 Minutes of Gameplay Video

Nearly two decades after "time stopped" and the series was left at a cliffhanger moment, Shenmue fans and players FINALLY get the moment they've been waiting for with the release of "Shenmue III" for the Playstation 4 and PC! Yu Suzuki's successful Kickstarter bid to continue the story has finally gone gold and is on sale now - picking things right where they left off and seeing Ryo Hazuki continue his journey around China to find his father's killer and avenge him.

As an action-adventure game series that has touched the hearts of fans who played the first two games during the days of the SEGA Dreamcast, Shenmue needs no introduction and was a game literally ahead of its time. Besides introducing QTE's and an "open-world" type setting for its day, this was a genuine nostalgic journey that took one martial artist living in late 1980's Japan from his hoemtown of Yokosuka to Hong Kong, and now we see the story continue through other parts of China as seen in this launch trailer below.
