Ys Net has revealed a new character and some new details for Shenmue III.

Featured above, a new character was revealed for the game, however details for her weren’t confirmed.

“We gave a first look of this character earlier. You’ll have to wait and see how she fits in with the temple in the background,” Ys Net said in the update.

Shenmue III will have a host of new, compelling characters from all walks of life.

And while we can’t say just how many, it will be a lot! The game art studio Lakshya Digital will be cooperating with us to bring these great characters to life.
