Koch Media have announced the Story Quest Pack DLC for Shenmue III, along with the release date.

The DLC (elaborated further in a press release) “sees our intrepid and fearless adventurer Ryo Hazuki cross paths with a familiar face from the past Zhang Shugin, and quickly become embroiled in a new escapade where nothing is as it seems…”

Based on the enclosed screenshots and the official Twitter account’s announcement, it seems Shuqin Zhang  from Shenmue II will return.

An aide to Yuanda Zhu (the man who tried to warn Ryo’s father about Lan Di), he was kidnapped on two occasions by the Yellow Heads gang of Kowloon. Judging by the enclosed image of Yuanda tied up, it seems he has been kidnapped yet again.

The press release also notes that players “must have reached Niaowu or have save data on which the game has been cleared to play.”

The Story Quest Pack DLC launches February 18th. The game’s Battle Rally DLC is also out now.

Shenmue III is out now on Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store), and PlayStation 4. In case you missed it, you can find our review here (we highly recommend it!)
