In response to backers who have requested Steam keys for their rewards, we discussed offering the keys on the day of release. Also, Epic Games has been with us from the start of the project when we adopted Unreal Engine 4 for development, and have given us their support throughout the development process. As a publishing partner, Deep Silver has greatly contributed not only to sales and marketing, but to scaling up the game so there is more Shenmue III to begin with. Taking publishing and sales considerations into account, YSNET and Deep Silver agreed to our partnership with Epic Games Store on PC version distribution. Regarding the recently announced Epic Games Store exclusive, all of us here at YSNET, Deep Silver and Epic are taking the matter with utmost concern and would like to clarify the circumstances leading to the decision and offer backers options for moving forward.Īs noted in the updates and survey at launch, we had originally planned for PC distribution through Steam. You can read the entire announcement here. I’m not sure why you’d want the latter unless a fund refund won’t be granted. If by some chance you don’t want to refund the game but still want a Steam key, you can wait for the year exclusivity to wear off.

Or you can switch from a PC version to a PlayStation physical or digital or a physical PC edition with a digital code from Epic Games.
For those who requested a physical media as it was part of the original Kickstarter (like myself) will likely get partial refund.

Now you can refund a full refund and receive that, as long as you backed the digital tier for the title. Previously, Deep Silver stated this wasn’t going to be an option, but thankfully cooler heads prevailed. Today YS Net announced that they will allow backers of Shenmue 3 to request a refund. Which could cause issues for the Shenmue series going forth. Well, that didn’t exactly happen, however, they did finally announce a solution today and one that may seem favorite to backers. Since then, YS Net stated they going to look into an alternative solution and would let us know during June 2019. As you can imagine, this caused a huge uproar amount the PC gaming community and for good reason. Instead of going to Steam, the game would now see a release on the Epic Games Store, due to an agreement with Deep Silver and Epic Games.

ĭuring E3 2019, Deep Silver and YS Net announced that Shenmue, a game that was slated to release on the PS4 and PC had a change of plans. Still, it’s Epic Games’ involvement as to why this is even happening.Įpic is funding the cost of all Kickstarter refunds resulting from Shenmue III’s move to the Epic Games store, so that refunds won’t reduce Ys Net’s development funding.
I suppose this is a nice gesture from Tim.
This way YS Net won’t have to make any changes to their plans or lose any money over this. Update: Not that it makes things better, Epic Games’ CEO Tim Sweeny has gone on record, stating that Epic Games will be handling the Kickstarter refunds.
