The developers of Shenmue 3, the long awaited sequel to the hit series that started on the Sega Dreamcast, revealed a new character for the game in time for E3. However, there was a bit of a disappointment for fans considering the fact that the game had no actual presence at the expo this year. Fans have been eager to see more of the game other than the little glimpses seen so far. Now, it appears that this year’s Gamescom conference will debut new Shenmue 3 movie clips and new announcements as well.

This news was first made known to backers of the game on their official Kickstarter page as part of a new backer update. The update begins with an acknowledgment of the previous update which announced the latest delay in the game’s release schedule, and expressed gratitude for the kind and understanding responses from fans. After this, it mentions that Shenmue 3 will be present at the Gamescom 2017 conference in Cologne, Germany this August. They will be sharing new movie clips from the game and reveal new details and announcements. The plans are still in the works for everything that will be shown, but it seems like it may be the biggest release of information since the Kickstarter funding period ended.

The new update also revealed the new logo, seen above, has a more archaic look to it as well as new character concept art and models. When the game finally arrives, the care put into it by the developers will surely be seen. What do you guys think about the game coming to Gamescom?
