Developer Ys Net has revealed that Shenmue III will require a massive 100GB on your PC's hard drive when it launches next year.

To put it into perspective, that's even more than open-world behemoth The Witcher 3, which ate up 45GB.

There's no word yet on how much the revenge-driven sequel will require on PlayStation 4, although we imagine it'll be a whopper too. 

In terms of specs for PC users, Shenmue III should run nicely on an Intel Core i5-4460 (3.40 GHz), 4GB RAM, GTX 650 Ti, plus a broadband Internet connection. 

Shenmue III is scheduled for release in 2019 on PS4 and PC, meaning it'll show up some 18 years after the launch of its Dreamcast predecessor. The story picks up in the late 80s as Ryo Hazuki continues to hunt for the mysterious Lan Di, who murdered his father at the beginning of the first game.

No word yet on if Ryo will be going sailor searching or racing forklift trucks around harbours, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. 

One thing we do know is that it'll leave the door open for a possible Shenmue 4, which is great news as this is one franchise that deserves a solid conclusion.
