Shenmue III is a 2019 action-adventure game developed by Ys Net and originally published by Deep Silver for the PlayStation 4 and Windows. Like the previous Shenmue games, it features open-world environments interspersed with brawler battles and quick time events, with a day-and-night system, variable weather effects, non-player characters with daily schedules, and various minigames. The game follows the teenage martial artist Ryo Hazuki as he continues his search for his father's killer in the mountains of 1980s Guilin, China. The game was crowdfunded through a Kickstarter campaign launched by Yu Suzuki, which became the fastest-funded and highest-funded video game project in Kickstarter history, raising $6.3 million. Shenmue III received mixed reviews; some critics described it as outdated, while others praised its faithfulness to the franchise. The game was released on November 19, 2019, 18 years after Shenmue II.
