Hello everybody.
It's now officially two weeks until E3 begins. There are of course press conferences and other stuff happening off-site in the days before this, but the meat and potatoes of the industry event will start from the 11th of June.
How is this important to Shenmue III? Well unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know a few smaller games media people let slip that Deep Silver were taking bookings for a hands-on demo for the game. Later details emerged that elaborated on this - that the demo will be half an hour long, and that sessions were fully booked as far back as a week or more ago. We'll have a lot of impressions to hear about the game very shortly.
So what else is planned for Shenmue III @ E3 2019? We don't know. We only knew the game would be there in the first place thanks to loose tongues in parts of the press. Whatever else Deep Silver has planned to promote the game is still under wraps... for the moment. With the game getting rated in Australia just yesterday, the Gamestop/EB Games pre-order promotion, and leaked details of a Collector's Edition; it feels like we're in the calm before the storm.
Hopefully the next few weeks are very, very rewarding to all of us who've waited to get a good look at Shenmue III.
In order to keep the OP as an easy resource for breaking news and interesting rumours, I'll be keeping it updated periodically with the headlines, like so:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27th May 2019 - Shenmue III is rated in Australia.

13th May 2019 - Gamestop/EB Games presents a pre-order bonus incentive for Shenmue III.
