The news comes from an announcement made by publisher Deep Silver at Gamescom 2018. > First announced in 2015 alongside a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the game, Shenmue III went on to rack up $6,333,295 from nearly 70,000 backers--a record for the most money raised for a video game on the crowd-funding platform. Once the Kickstarter ended, developer Ys Net set up a Slacker Backer campaign to keep collecting money from anyone who wanted to contribute.
