Sony is providing finance for the development of the PS4 version of Shenmue 4, it has been confirmed by Shibuya Productions president & CEO Cedric Biscay, himself a co-producer for Shenmue 3.
There has been much speculation about Sony’s role in the game’s development, but finally we have clarification.
“Sony is providing various supports, including marketing and investment, to YSNet. However, Sony is just one of many backers of #Shenmue3,” Tweeted Biscay.
Responding to fan anger at Sony’s involvement with a Kickstarter project, Biscay also confirmed that “Sony will not get any money from the KS, they will help to finance the PS4 version and will also help for advertisement”.
Over the weekend Ys Net’s Yu Suzuki revealed the project needs $10 million in order for him to realise his true open world dream for the game.
Ys Net is targeting a holiday 2017 release.
