This past weekend Sega announced that they were working on an HD remake for
Shenmue I and
Shenmue II, making fans of the franchise more than excited. What they didn't give us was an official release date or if they were going to be selling both games together or separate.Today we got a bit more of information thanks to Youtuber Adam Koralik. The news comes from a video posted on Koralik's Twitter account that was later retweeted by Sega.
In the video Koralik mentions that the game will support achievements across all confirmed platforms, including PC. He also tells us that the game will retail for $29.99 USD and it will be only one package. So
Shenmue I and
Shenmue II will be sold together. No information has been revealed on whether we will be able to buy the games separately or not.
While we still haven't been given an official date of release,
Shenmue I&II is expected to come out for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC at some point in
2018.
The year is 1986, the place Yokosuka, Japan. The normally tranquil day-to-day life of Ryo Hazuki is suddenly and irrecoverably shattered by uninvited visitors. A man wearing dark green Chinese clothes appears at the Hazuki family home with two black-suited thugs. This man uses a powerful style of martial arts, the likes of which Ryo has never before seen, to engage his father Iwao in a fierce battle. Ryo attempts to intervene and help his father, but the obvious disparity in power is too much. Ryo is beaten down and taken hostage as the man questions Iwao, “Where is the mirror.”
