It took several years but the third installment of Shenmue III is coming out into the market. This franchise has quite the following but it left gamers on a cliffhanger when Sega opted to not pursue any further installments. Now that we’re getting a third installment through the help of a funded Kickstarter campaign, gamers are only months away before its readily available for the PC and PlayStation 4 platforms. For those who pre-order, you’ll get a few bonuses which publisher Deep Silver has unveiled through a press release that was sent out earlier today.
There are a few different retailers that you can pre-order Shenmue III but it seems that you’ll gain a few bonuses across the board from the participating retailers.
Pre-Order Bonuses
- Snake Power: Three bottles of ‘Snake Power’ elixir to replenish energy during battle
- Playing Tokens: 5,000 playing tokens for the in-game gambling area
