It's always the brunt of jokes when the trademark "secret" announcements are made and whatnot from Sega and Yu Suzuki, but I'm asking realistically, is there any viable path where this game will actually be made and released?

Maybe not within the next few years, but what about 10 years from now?

I mean why I'm wondering is we've seen times where a company like Nintendo has brought back the Kid Icarus IP like 25 years later and the Donkey Kong Country IP back almost 2 decades later.

Do you think it will happen? Pipe dream?

Maybe it's just my undying love for the series nagging at me. I can't let it go T___T

[diffusionx]

No. Deal with it.

[StuBurns]

No

[Raide]

Yes

NO

[Untracked]

Nope, let it go.

[Seda]

Yes.

Wait I mean no.

[Basileus777]

Don't worry, when Sega goes bankrupt someone will buy the IP and get it done.

[Glass Rebel]

Nah, SEGA sent out 4 copies last year, I snagged 3 of them and broke the 4th because you can only use 3 in your deck.

[mj1108]

Yes.
No.
No.
No.
Yes.

I mean, no.

[The Stig]

No

[Drago]

Maybe someday...

no

Sega has refocused on digital, casual, mobile games.
So NO.
The best we can hope for at this point are Shnemue1&2 on PSN/XBL.

[JaseC]

Only after Rare releases Killer Instinct 2. :p

Edit:

Speaking of, did this rumour develop any further?

[Kyoufu]

Let it go already... Sega can't afford it.

[jonno394]

There should be a www.hasshenmue3beenannouncedyet.com website, with the big words "no".

The day it gets announced would be glorious.

[Shiggy]

Yes. Someday it will happen. Does not mean that you will live that long.

[batman2million]

I thought about that for a while and wondered if it would be a good move for Sega, with the recent financial issue.

TBH, as a fan I would like to see it but from a business perspective, I don't think it would sell that well.

So no, I don't think Sega will or should release it.

[Defuser]

Sega realised Yakuza makes more money instead and probably cheaper to develop too.

[Raide]

Only after Rare releases Killer Instinct 2. :p

I heard KI3 will have a demo for Shenmue 3, so that should be nice!

[IdreamofHIME]

Not unless they release the 1st two on XBLA/PSN at some point...even then SEGA's not in great shape at the moment.
Maybe Shemue Vs Aliens Vs Predator?

[Darklord]

No. It's a boring series and no one wants it.

[salromano]

Ask the "new and exciting" Sega.

[JordanKZ]

Shenmue is completely dead. It never sold well in the first place and now with Sega refocusing, it'll never ever come out.

[Koralsky]

They have the right engine, but no.

If they release first two titles digitally and they beat Journey and Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition sales records, maybe there's some little chance.

But that's a BIIIIIG 'if'...

[Jackl]

Sometime after Skies of Arcadia 2.

[Lord-Audie]

Time to let go.

The series has its fans, but not enough for sega to invest on a sequel. At least as perceived by Sega.

[CrunchinJelly]

No.

After GTA4 the tedium simulator genre is dead. We don't need another one.

[Boogybro]

Old wounds reopened...

Why did I visit GAF today.

[Claymores]

Considering how much Sega lost on the shenmue series I highly doubt they'll be another one.

[Cerebral Assassin]

Shenmue is completely dead. It never sold well in the first place and now with Sega refocusing, it'll never ever come out.

Not true, the first one sold around a million copies.

[CoachKevin]

[Canis lupus]

never lose hope

I love you nozomi

[GoofsterStud]

Yes. Sega of America is working on it... This is why we don't here much from Yu, he's to busy crying himself to sleep at night.

[tsab]

[shinobi602]

Why doesn't Sega at least sell the IP and make $$$ off it if they'll never do anything with it? Let someone else publish it then, right?

[breezer79]

I want to believe.

[Nibel]

I swear that if one day I find a pot of gold that I will use it to finance this game

[eznark]

Shenmue 3 and Earthbound are going to be 4DS launch titles.

[CcrooK]

Because Sega is stupid. They should just sell themselves out and move onto appliances

[Memento_Mori15]

As a shenmue fan, I've came to the realization that it would probably never be made. While it's not the same at all, if Sega keeps making yakuza games, I'm okay with Shenmue not being released.

[Drago]

Outsource it!

[SonicMegaDrive]

Of course not.

[DoDonGouki]

Don't worry, when Sega goes bankrupt someone will buy the IP and get it done.

EA...it's in the game !

Shenmue Underground
Shenmue Soccer - Road To World Cup 2k14

True. But no where near enough to actually turn a profit.

[Canis lupus]

Do they know the concept of kickstarter in Japan?

[GotEmRunnin]

Shenmue 3 is old news. It was released in 2005 under the name Yakuza.

[vaelic]

no. stop asking

[kadab]

nope
