After years of complaining, Shenmue fans will finally get their wish. Yu Suzuki has confirmed that Shenmue 3 is definitely happening, with the announcement being made last night at Sony’s E3 conference.

It was revealed in an interesting way, with Suzuki also starting up a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the making of the game. Asking for $2 million worth of pledges, which was achieved within a few hours.

“I have dreamed of making this sequel for 14 years. “It is time to bring Shenmue back! And to make it come true, it will need the love and support from each and every one of you!” (Yu Suzuki)

Although the $2 million target has already been met, fans are still advised to continue donating with more targets if the figure reaches $3.5 million and then $4 million.
