Shenmue fans have been waiting for Shenmue 3 for a very long time, and it seems like the end of the long wait is in sight, as the game's release date has finally been confirmed.
During Gamescom 2018 opening ceremony, it's been confirmed that Shenmue 3 will release on PC and PlayStation 4 on August 27th, 2019. We're more than a year away, so delays may happen, but it's still good to know the team has got a good idea on the state of the game.
Shenmue 3 is launching on PC and PlayStation 4, but full system requirements have yet to be confirmed. Back in June, preliminary requirements have been revealed, and it seems like the game will be a massive download, requiring 100 GB of free storage space.
