Fans of Yu Suzuki's classic Dreamcast titles are likely to be rejoicing at the news unveiled by Sega today, announcing that it plans to release updated versions of Shenmue and Shenmue 2 for PS4, Xbox One and PC gaming platforms some time during 2018. It seems fitting that the announcement should be made at this point in time, given that Suzuki currently working on development of the long-awaited third entry in the series, Shenmue III.
Officially dubbed as "definitive" editions by Sega, the remakes will feature updated HD graphics, a choice of English or Japanese voice-overs, as well as a range of configurable graphics options exclusive to the PC edition.
Two of the most ambitious and best-loved titles to feature on Sega's Dreamcast console, the games recount the adventures of Ryo Hazuki, a young martial artist in training who attempts to track down the secretive cartel responsible for his father's murder. Both games were highly ambitious at the time of release, boasting advanced graphics, a real-time day/night cycle and a living, breathing world full of characters to interact with.
Hopefully, we won't have to wait too much longer for more details to emerge on these highly anticipated titles!
