As Shenmue 3 approaches the final moments of its Kickstarter campaign, word has come out that a physical release of the game is not something that can be taken for granted. According to Eurogamer, “whether Shenmue 3 will be available for retail or not is currently unconfirmed.”
Apparently, the only way to guarantee yourself a hard copy of Shenmue 3 when it comes out is by actually backing the project on Kickstarter. In case you’re wondering, that means pledges of $60 or more. Of course, a digital version will be available to anyone.
Shenmue 3 is due to release on the PS4 and PC.
