Shenmue 3 was announced, although not in the traditional sense, at Sony's E3 news conference on Monday. Shenmue 2 constitues chapters 3 through 5, so Shenmue 3 runs chapter 6 to some unknown point. The second chapter of the story was delivered in a manga set between it and Shenmue 2 (2001). Shenmue, which launched in 2000 on the Dreamcast, was considered the first chapter of the saga.

"If at all possible, I would still like to realize the full story of 11 chapters." "Over the past 14 years I originally planned for there to 4 or five games to the series," Suzuki said. "There are a total of 11 chapters that make up the whole story," Suzuki said, in reply to a fan asking if Shenmue 3 would fit Suzuki's original vision for the game or make major compromises. This varies from some Shenmue fans' original understanding that the entire story comprised 16 chapters, though Suzuki had said as far back as 2010 that 11 made up the full story. Yu Suzuki, the creator of the Shenmue series, staged an AMA on Reddit yesterday evening and revealed that 11 chapters make up the full Shenmue story, which returns soon with the Kickstarted Shenmue 3.

Shenmue creator: Story has 11 chapters, ideally '4 or 5 games' in the series I think he's waiting for Kickstarter to end and then see." "I don't think he's setting this up to be this massive open world game. "In terms of final development cost, I think Suzuki is being flexible depending on the funds available," he said. In part, Suzuki said that game's depth would be dependent on funding. Suzuki spoke with Polygon earlier this week about the funding and his approach to the game. That's no different than what we've done with other games like Sportsfriends." "Once it is successful SCE will give a lot of support to the game, including financial support.
"It's indie development which is why he chose Kickstarter to seek funding. "This is not a Sega project, they are doing this as an indie studio and Yu has a small team," he said. Yoshida says that discrepancy is due to a number of factors. That compared to the $47 million that Suzuki once estimated it would cost. The game's announcement came with a pretty massive caveat: Shenmue 3 was seeking funding through a Kickstarter campaign. While the enthusiastic reaction was driven almost entirely by news of Shenmue 3, the continued interest seems driven in part by questions of how game director Yu Suzuki was going to make the game with so sparse a budget. One of the biggest fan reactions during PlayStation's E3 press conference this week was news that fan-favorite Shenmue was finally getting a third title, said Shuhei Yoshida, head of Sony Computer Entertainment's head of world wide studios. Shenmue 3's size will be dependent on the money raised

We're going to help Ys Net get the game done. "And it's going be run through Third-Party Production. "Sony and PlayStation is definitely a partner in this game," said Corsi. The campaign reached its goal in less than nine hours. Suzuki's studio, Ys Net, launched the funding drive during Sony's E3 2015 press briefing yesterday evening. Corsi added that Shenmue 3 was easily the most-requested title in the Third-Party Production team's "Building the List" initiative, a hashtag campaign in which people suggest games for Sony to bring to PlayStation platforms. "If the fans come in and back it, then absolutely we're going to make this a reality," said Corsi, explaining Sony's rationale in an interview with Sid Shuman of the PlayStation Blog. The parties agreed to launch a Kickstarter campaign, and they set the goal at $2 million to gauge whether there was enough fan interest to justify making the game.
