When Sega announced Shenmue and Shenmue II back in April 2018, it was revealed that the first two games of the series are coming in one package and the porting will be based on the Xbox version and not Dreamcast. Despite being re-released, they truly are not full remakes or remasters with HD graphics. However, noticeable graphical differences from their original console debut will be present in the modern remake versions despite having all the technical obstacles.

Features like full screen resolution will be available though along with modern or classic control, updated UI and voice over option for original Japanese or English. You will be able to save the game anywhere in both titles and that's not all. Your progress can be carried over from Shenmue into Shenmue II for all available platforms. Players on PC are allowed to configure mouse and keyboard as they like with controller support. FPS setting will be fixed on 30 frames per second though.

Currently, pre-orders of the games are available on Steam and Xbox Store, except for the PlayStation Store of U.S. You are only months away now from experiencing Shenmue saga once again with protagonist Ryo Hazuki as he seeks revenge for his father's death. A second sequel, Shenmue III is on works after series creator Yu Suzuki managed to crowd fund more than $6.3 million on Kickstarter three years ago. It was set to release at the end of 2017 but is delayed more than once before finally setting on releasing it in 2019.
