On the very day that the Shenmue I & II HD Remaster was released, a new sizzle reel for Shenmue III landed, which concluded with the revelation that the long-awaited sequel will finally release on August 27 next year. Apparently.

While it's a long time to wait, it's something of a relief for fans to have something approaching a "concrete" release date, even if many are doubtless convinced that the game will end up delayed past this date.

On the plus side, at least you've got the remasters to make the year-long wait a little less excruciating. You've waited 17 years already: what's one more?
