Maybe the most exciting Shenmue 3 release detail is that the Shenmue 3 release is confirmed. 

On stage, Suzuki announced a Shenmue 3 Kickstarter though we now know that Sony is going to be helping with the production of the game and providing additional funding. The Kickstarter, it seems, was just to gauge interest in the title and after a few days, the people have spoken. 

After just two days, the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter has raised more than $3 million. That's $1 million more than the company's original goal. There are still 30 days to go and so there's a very good chance that we'll see the game's funding grow as fans throw their support behind Suzuki and his development team.
