Shenmue 3 has been delayed yet again, this time until November 2019.

An email from development head Yu Suzuki and publisher Deep Silver to Kickstarter backers (thanks, Adam) today made the confirmation, advising the title would be pushed back to 19 November 2019 from 27 August 2019.

“Whilst almost ready, the game simply needs a little more refinement before being truly finished,” the email read.

“We feel that the extra time we have will help us deliver the true Shenmue experience players around the world deserve!”

Shenmue 3 heads to Windows PC and PS4 on 19 November. We’ll keep you informed as more is known.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
