Sega has announced that Shenmue 1 and 2 are both out now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, giving players a chance to relive the adventures of Ryo on current gaming platforms.

The re-release of Shenmue I & II is the definitive version of these all-time classics with all the original features intact such as enthralling jujitsu combat, investigative sleuthing, real-time open worlds, RPG elements and memorable mini-games. The re-release also adds modernised features such as updated user interface and controls, the option to enjoy either the original Japanese or English voiceovers and on PC only, scalable screen resolution and PC graphics options.

"SEGA Europe has wanted to re-release the Shenmue series for such a long time and thanks to tireless work behind the scenes, it is our pleasure to bring these games back, laden with accolades as one of the greatest gaming series of all time, for gamers of all generations," said John Clark, Executive Vice President of Publishing at SEGA Europe. "We can't wait for gamers to jump into this piece of gaming history and experience the magic of Shenmue I & II for themselves."

It was also announced that Shenmue 3 will be coming to PC and PlayStation 4 on August 27th 2019, so now is the time to start the story again, before you finish it next year.
