There are only 5,000 copies of this version produced so definitely make sure to get your hands on it before they’re gone for good. you may preorder it onthis site only. The set had beenpreviously announcedback in June but the finer details had not been revealed at that time.
The main story will take from 35 to 40 hours to complete. In the past, around two years ago,Yu Suzuki saidthe game would be around 50 hours long, but this ended up being readjusted as development went on. However, he added that the gameâs main story will take you around 50 hours to complete if you play in Challenge difficulty.
And youâll be able to play it much more if you try to do everything and play at your own pace. The playtime will differ depending on your playstyle, and simply rushing the main story “wonât let you see even 30% of Shenmue III.”
Storywise, Suzuki hinted at something pretty big. He reiterated thatShenmue IIIwonât finish the whole story, but weâll learn much more about Ryoâs father Iwao and what did he do in China in the past. weâll also learn more on the mirrors and the Sword of the Seven Stars. And most notably, Yu Suzuki hinted that we might get to see Ryo and Lan Di settle the score in some way.
