Shenmue 3 should be fairly moddable no?

S1 + S2 was understandably very difficult to mod due to no real understanding or access to the bespoke engine it used back in the day.

Since Shenmue 3 is built using Unreal Engine 4, I am hopeful we will see a lot of mods. In particular, would it be possible to include a skin for Ryo matching his original Dreamcast look? Would this be possible and also still keep the same mouth movements etc? I see new games do this all the time, like the Arkham games for example.

Technically yes, but It will requires a Mod Manager/Injector to be compatible
Unreal Engine 4 game mods are very rare unless directly supported by the developer through the EpicGames store
The method outlined below seems to be the most likely way to Mod Shenmue 3

It looks so, judging by the demo.

Don’t worry, I’m sure mods for “fixing” all the returning character models will be released within two weeks of release.
