In this article, we discuss the recent rumours surrounding Shenmue 4 on 4Chan, including its potential release date, story details, and more. The information presented here has not been officially confirmed and should be taken with caution. I mean, we did make it the most successful videogame Kickstarter after all.- Advertisement - Shenmue 4: rumours fuel the anticipation of the next episodeĭisclaimer: This article is based on rumours circulating on 4chan. I also hope he releases a novelization or something and yes, it's up to him, but I don't think it's unreasonable for fans to feel entitled to more transparency from him, particularly in light of the cancelation of the anime. We're 7 years removed from the initial KS announcement and 3 years since S3 released and with confirmation that there are no plans for S4 in the near future, that means that it's not in development. He said this year that S4 will not release anytime in the near future, so I doubt we'll be hearing anything about it for a while which is kind of my point. I think once you bring the fans into something like financing the sequel and the future of the series, your relationship to them becomes fundamentally different. And I would think the same if we got S4 and were in a similar position. I'm not saying that means Suzuki owes us the ending of the series, but he definitely owes more transparency. I disagree with this, I think Suzuki has an obligation to be more transparent about the end of the game considering the entire Kickstarter began with the line "Shenmue's story was left incomplete.".

If we don't hear a peep in the next 1-2 years and have no possible avenues of continuing the series into games, then I hope he releases a novelization or some other medium but ultimately that will be up to him.
That ends any sort of obligation frankly fans have, although Suzuki's message at the end of the game underscores his desire to recognize fans' commitment and his desire to find some way of ending the story. Suzuki and co fulfilled that promise when Shenmue 3 shipped. Especially with so many games this far into the generation still releasing on last-generation machines, alas it didn't work out that way.įinally, fans including me spent thousands of dollars on the development and delivery of Shenmue 3.
Of course in a perfect world, as Cedric alluded to in his interview with the Dojo, the development would have moved ahead right after Shenmue 3 so they could retain some team, work on the existing engine and be close to release by now. In addition, the studio from the sounds of things has expanded its office space and released Air Twister this year. How that figured into Suzuki pitching to publishers is unknown but this is all very recent. We just had the Shenmue anime released in February, and until a few months ago with the merger, it appeared there was a strong possibility another season was going to be made. I am not suggesting that we wait another twenty years for a prospective Shenmue 4 but I think people need some perspective in terms of timelines here.
