After nearly two decades, Shenmue 3 is actually out today. Wild! So why don’t we have a review up?
We only recently received review copies of Shenmue 3 from publisher Deep Silver, and not nearly in time to have a review ready for you all by today’s release. But rest assured we are working on one at this very moment, and expect to have it for your viewing pleasure by early next week – maybe late this week if it turns out to be shorter than we’ve heard it is.
Additionally, you may have heard rumblings that the Shenmue 3 review embargo was actually set for two days after its release today, but the review embargo we agreed to lifted at launch this morning. It’s IGN’s policy to never knowingly agree to a post-launch embargo, and Deep Silver has said that the embargo with a two-day delay reported by some was the unintentional result of a miscommunication that has since been remedied.
Until our review is ready, check out our final preview of Shenmue 3 from late last week, or you can watch its launch trailer here.
