One of the most requested video game sagas to be remastered and brought back has finally been confirmed, as Sega has confirmed that both Shenmue and Shenmue II are coming to Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC Steam sometime this year!

According to Polygon and Shenmue Dojo's reports, the game will be released both digitally and physically - retaining the Dreamcast aesthetics but having improved graphics and textures as of the remaster. Additionally, players can also choose between English and Japanese voices - and the game will retail for $29.99 when released.

A game truly ahead of its time and developed by legendary video game creator Yu Suzuki - the first Shenmue was originally released for the Sega Dreamcast, and its sequel was also for that system - yet only in European and Japanese territories (with English Subtitles over the Japanese dub for the former). The original Microsoft Xbox got the sequel with the American voices. With Shenmue III already in the works after a succesful kickstarting campaign - the time is right for this legendary masterpiece to make it's much deserved return in a remastered rerelease!
