is an upcoming action-adventure open-world video game directed by Yu Suzuki, developed by his company Ys Net and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is scheduled for release in December 2017 for PlayStation 4 and Windows. The third game in the main ''Shenmue'' series, a "revenge epic in the tradition of Chinese cinema", it follows teenage martial artist Ryo Hazuki in his quest to find his father's killer in 1980s China. The previous two ''Shenmue'' games were directed by Suzuki, developed by Sega AM2 and published by Sega for the Dreamcast in 1999 and 2001 respectively. The original ''Shenmue'' was the most expensive video game ever developed at the time, with an estimated production and marketing cost of over $47 million USD, though this also covered some of ''Shenmue II'' and groundwork for future ''Shenmue'' games. Despite attracting a cult following, the games did not recoup their development cost and ''Shenmue III'' spent over a decade in development hell. At the June 2015 E3 conference, Suzuki announced that Sega had licensed the ''Shenmue'' rights to his development company Ys Net and launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund ''Shenmue III''. The campaign met its initial target of $2 million USD in under eight hours, making it the fastest Kickstarter campaign to reach that amount. It ended in July having raised over $6 million, making it the highest-funded video game and the sixth highest-funded campaign in Kickstarter history. On September 17, 2015, crowdfunding for ''Shenmue III'' resumed using the online payment system PayPal. ==Premise== Following the events of ''Shenmue II'', teenage martial artist Ryo Hazuki has reached Guilin, China in search of his father's killer, Lan Di. There he met Ling Shenhua, a mysterious girl who previously appeared in his dreams. After learning the legend of her village which foretells a united path between them, they embark on a new journey which will reveal their shared destinies. Lan Di will return, with a new antagonist Niao Sun.〔 ''Shenmue III'' begins in Bailu Village. According to the game's Kickstarter website, the second area, Choubu, is "a riverside village with lots of shops, souvenir stores, hotels and temples." The third area, Baisha, will feature a "siege game reminiscent of the Warring Kingdoms." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shenmue III」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
