It was after 18 long years of absence that Ryo Hazuki made his big comeback in Shenmue 3 in November 2019. Unfortunately, the game had received a mixed reception because of its aging mechanics and its stagnant story. Thus, worshipers of the license imagined by Yu Suzuki hope for an announcement of Shenmue 4 even if the viability of the project remains uncertain to this day.
A real clue or just speculation?
The hallway noise comes from a response posted on the 110 Industries Instagram account. This company, which brings together around 150 video game professionals around the world, is currently working on a game called Wanted: Dead . And it is precisely under a post concerning this title that an Internet user suggested to 110 Industries to associate with Yu Suzuki in order to give birth to Shenmue 4 . The company replied with the following sentence: " Guess why he (Suzuki) was present on our stream at TGS ".
Thus, 110 Industries seems to imply that the Japanese creator came to talk to them about Shenmue 4 during the last Tokyo Game Show to date. Of course, this can be a clumsy answer or just a joke. Recently, Cédric Biscay, the producer of the third opus, explained that several publishers had been approached to develop a sequel. We do not know if these discussions were fruitful.
