E3 2019: Shenmue 3 New Trailer Released, Epic Game Store Exclusivity Confirmed

Shenmue 3 made a surprise appearance during the E3 PC Gaming Show presentation, with SEGA and Ys Net introducing a brand-new Shenmue 3 trailer for the long awaited sequel.

You can watch the trailer down below, although despite being a fan myself, I can admit that it certainly isn’t be best looking title out there. I will say though I’m excited for the title myself as it’ll finally give us the long awaited conclusion to the Shenmue story that we never got.

And in some not-so-pleasant news, with the arrival of the latest trailer being debuted at the sponsored Epic Game venue, Shenmue will be launching on PC as an Epic game xxclusive. Ys Net, the studio behind Shenmue 3 and consisting of veterans from the previous entries confirmed via their Kickstarter page that is is indeed a EPG exclusive and then provided a reason why.

We are happy to announce that Shenmue III for PC will be will be an Epic Games Store exclusive. Development for Shenmue III has been moving forward using Unreal Engine and the support we have received from Epic has been excellent. But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option.

Fans certainly aren’t happy with hundreds of new comments pouring in requesting for a refund.  Shenmue III is launching on PlayStation 4 and PC on November 19 of this year.
