Well, no surprise here; Yu Suzuki’s Shenmue III has smashed its Kickstarter goal of $2,000,000 USD.

Stretch goals have already been added to the title, with targets set for up to $4,000,000 USD. The goals will add German, French, Spanish and Italian subtitles and a new skill tree system.

Shenmue III is expected in December 2017.

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and 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.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
