Battle Rally DLC Coming to Shenmue III

Deep Silver and developer Ys Net have announced that the first DLC for Shenmue III is releasing next week. Battle Rally is a race in which the contestants face each other in head-to-head battles while trying to be the first to cross the finish line. In addition to series protagonist Ryo Hazuki, the DLC will offer two new playable characters to choose from: the treasure-seeking Wuying Ren and Ryo’s sparring partner Wei Zhen. Battle Rally will be available on PlayStation 4 and PC via Epic Games Store starting January 21, 2020, for $7.99/£6.49, and for free to those who purchased the Complete DLC Collection.

Shenmue III released worldwide on November 19, 2019, after a lengthy development process and several crowdfunding campaigns. Those interested in the game can also check out Elmon Dean Todd’s review of the PlayStation 4 version.
