Many joyful fanboy tears were shed when Shenmue III's existence was finally confirmed back at E3 2015, with original director Yu Suzuki returning to continue Ryo Hazuki's epic tale to avenge his father's death.

Though it's certainly worth keeping your expectations in check considering the project's smaller budget than its predecessors and Suzuki's absence from the AAA realm since Shenmue II, it's still impossible for fans not to be excited that the game is really coming out.

Considering the game has already slipped from its planned 2017 release date, it wouldn't be remotely surprising if Shenmue III was again pushed to 2019, but at the same time, it's entirely possible fans could finally be playing one of the most anticipated sequels in gaming history late this year.
