Sega's beloved Dreamcast classic Shenmue is coming to modern consoles. During the Sega Fes event in Japan, the publisher announced it is bringing both the first Shenmue and its sequel, Shenmue II, together in one package to PS4, Xbox One, and PC later this year.

A new installment in the series, Shenmue III, is currently in development for PS4 and PC, following a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. That game is being published worldwide by Deep Silver and is planned to launch sometime this year. You can see some recent screenshots of Shenmue III.

Sega does.

Sega still owns the OP but they licensed Shenmue 3 to a different company for whatever reason.

They don't sound like games that'll have aged that well to me.

Probably not

I played Shenmue 1 the first time oh maybe 9 years ago (FFXIII came out that long ago O_O).  It was pretty clunky, but I respect it for what it was.
