Shenmue III Enhanced Announced

Yu Suzuki and ININ Games have announced Shenmue III Enhanced, an upgraded version of action adventure title Shenmue III. The upgraded version of the game — which released for PC and PlayStation 4 in 2019 — will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and unspecified Nintendo platform(s), though a release window has not been announced. The Enhanced version will include enhanced graphics and textures, increased NPC density, a classic camera mode, gameplay tweaks, quality-of-life improvements, and UI enhancements. There will also be options to turn off various major changes. Those who already own Shenmue III on PC or PlayStation 4 will have an upgrade path to the new version.
