Support NeoGAF

[Mista]

The first major downloadable content for Shenmue III, “Battle Rally,” will launch on January 21 for $7.99 / £6.49 / €7.99, publisher Deep Silver and developer Ys Net announced.

The add-on will be available to purchase via the PlayStation Store and Epic Games Store. Users who have purchased the “Complete DLC Collection” will automatically gain access to the content on release day

Here is an overview of “Battle Rally,” via Deep Silver:

“Battle Rally” offers fresh gaming activities in a race unlike any other, as contestants engage in head-to-head battles whilst racing their way through the course.

Furthermore, for the first time in Shenmue III players will have the chance to step into the shoes of another protagonist! In addition to playing the hero of our story Ryo Hazuki, players can also choose the treasure-seeking Wuying Ren, and making her first appearance in this game, Ryo’s sparring partner, Wei Zhen.

Cross the finish line in first place to win some truly awesome items!

My backer copy was very cheap, so I'll get this to support the series, but it sounds a little weird. A race as in running? Can you punch each other while racing, kind of like an on-foot Road Rash? Hmmm...

This sounds kinda goofy but I am just glad they are finally releasing the DLC.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

I wouldn't give these guys another dime, they already cut out 1/3 of the game that we backed but they failed to deliver.

$8 footrace DLC?
... kay...

Nah honestly fuck off Deep Silver.

This is a terrible example of how you do DLC.

Way to continually piss off everyone lol.

loooool, usually I hate lol comments but..... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[MiguelItUp]

I can't help but think that the fans were thinking about literally anything else when it came to DLC.

 

[IpsoFacto]

Moar Shenmue 3! Gimme, gimme, gimme!

 

[marcincz]

I am still waiting for dlc with ending of the story.

 

[DeliciousDoc]

Sounds pretty useless so I'm glad I can ignore it.

 

[Enjay]

Most shenmue fans have a real bad case of stockholm syndrome at this point.

 

[lachesis]

Would have loved story DLC first - but will take it.

To be honest, I want to see Wei vs the blue dressed girl from the Muren Cafe though!

Still waiting for the game to appear away from Epic before I can buy it.
