The long-awaited sequel to Sega’s action/RPG series Shenmue will be headed to the Xbox One some time in 2015, confirms Sega in an interview late last night. Last night meaning 3/31, not 4/1, so this isn’t an April Fools joke. Those are for kids, so grow up.
In the interview, Sega stated that they want to make Shenmue more modern. In doing so, they’ve decided to add illegal street racing, online multiplayer, 3D platforming, rhythm-based mini-games, fatalities, an EX special move meter and an in-game Twitter feed called Twatter. You can then use this feature to Twat your friends, join crews or post selfies. To cater to a broader audience, Shenmue 3 will also feature an extensive fishing, crafting and gardening system, as well as 25 to 40-man raids.
In response to their decision to make Shenmue 3 exclusive to Xbox One, Sega claimed that “..everything is better with Kinect, right? We’re over here with out dev kits doing whatever we want with voice commands while every other console gamer has to navigate like pilgrims.”
Well put, Sega. Well put.
Shenmue 3 will be headed to the Xbox One some time in 2015.

Man, April first us brutal around here, isn’t it?
I have no idea what you’re referring to.
Just saying that it’s a busy day for legit news, man.
Oh, right, yeah, that, exactly. *cough*
Mhmm.
Been waiting on this one for years.
I don’t believe this, has to be an April fool!
But the screenshots are legit dude, check them out.
I might need to buy an Xbone then!
yeah sure… those are sleeping dogs screenshots -_-
April fools is April fools. This actually stemmed from a conversation that Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit and no one really played it.
You guyyyyssssssss
so much win, Q likes :p
And if Q is happy, we’re happy.
It is a April fool’s cause them screen shots are from Sleeping dogs
You win! This actually stemmed from a conversation I had where I was telling someone how amazing Sleeping Dogs was, but that nobody has really played it. To prove it, I put Sleeping Dogs screenshots up as Shenmue III and you’re the first person to actually notice. Gold star for you!
