Shenmue 1 & 2 Confirmed for Fall 2018 Release on All Platforms

Waiting for a while to get your hands on Shenmue’s new remastered versions? The wait is about to be over starting next month, when you can pick up the Shenmue 1 & 2 Collection for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. It’s finally here, and there’s a new trailer to boot.

The remastered games will include plenty of new goodies, especially for veteran fans who can’t wait to jump back into the unique worlds of both titles. For one, you’ll be able to carry over saves from Shenmue into Shenmue 2, and you can even save anywhere in both games. Other than that, there’s HD resolution rendering, an updated UI, new post-processing effects, controller and achievement support, and the option to play with both English and Japanese speech options.

Physical editions of the game, which are available for preorder now, will get an exclusive double-sided poster and reversible cover in addition to what look like some pretty gorgeous box art as it is. Fans have been waiting some time to get their hands on these games in a format beyond having to drag out their old Dreamcasts and Xboxes, so it’s really doing a service for players to have new, updated versions of the game to play and enjoy.

Check out the new trailer below, and get ready for the game collection to drop on Aug. 21!
