Ys Net has announced the crowdfunding campaign for Shenmue III has reached $7 million with its Kickstarter and Slacker Backer campaigns combined, meaning they’re adding a new component to their battling system in Shenmue III.
Here’s a rundown on the new mechanic for the game:
Battle System Expanded: AI Battling
This control system lets you automatically unleash the perfect technique in response to the opponent’s positioning and distance. R&D for this system is based on Yu Suzuki’s concept for players who are not used to fighting games or for those who want a full immersion battle experience. This battle system is highly compatible with, and will be an extension to the current battle system.
Ys Net also confirmed the “Toy Capsule Box Set” limited edition of the game is now available to order through Fangamer.
Shenmue III is set for a 2019 release across Windows PC and PlayStation 4.
