Shenmue III Enhanced announced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo (TBC)
ININ Games and Yu Suzuki have announced Shenmue III Enhanced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo (TBC) with a full unveil set for gamescom 2025.
Shenmue III originally launched for PlayStation 4 and PC back in 2019. The new version features enhanced graphics, faster load times, DLSS, FSR, gameplay tweaks, and much more. Existing PS4 and PC owners will have an upgrade path available. The official announcement doesn't mention what Nintendo console this is launching on. I assume the gamescom 2025 full reveal will have this clarified.
Shenmue III is now available on PS4 and PC. Shenmue III Enhanced is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo (TBC).
