Shenmue 3 returns with new ‘Enhanced Edition’

Despite being a massive Kickstarter success, the return of Shenmue wasn't the grand event many backers had hoped for. Shenmue 3 ultimately ended up disappointing both older fans of the original games, and newcomers. Now, creator Yu Suzuki is hoping for a do-over with Shenmue 3 Enhanced Edition. 

This week, Shenmue 3 Enhanced Edition was announced for PC and consoles. The new version of the game will be coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and it will also be available for Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.

Fans who own the original version of Shenmue 3 on PS4 or PC will get an ‘upgrade path', so be prepared to open your wallet in order to upgrade to the new version of the game. This does not appear to be a free upgrade for those who supported the original release.

Shenmue 3 Enhanced Edition will include ‘enhanced graphics', including 4K textures and support for newer technologies like FSR and DLSS. The Enhanced Edition also includes more NPCs to make the world feel livelier, new camera options and other gameplay and UI tweaks.
