Yeah, thats a pretty big tease given that he knows how Shenmue fans are. It’s the first solid sign that Shenmue 4 might get Made.
THE FOURTH IS TOMORROW

I still think he'd have to be completely out of his mind to post something like that and not intend it to have any meaning. I don't buy it. He's been down this road too many times. I refuse to believe a dude running a successful business is that oblivious.
Yeah he is way to tied to the fanbase to not realize what people would think that tweet implies. He would be "canceled" if it is anything other than a soft confirmation that Shenmue 4 is well underway lmaohe would have to be a totally sadistic bastard.
Yeah, personally I'm 90% sure that Suzuki and his team are already working on Shenmue 4, but usually formal game announcements happen only once the project is far enough to show something, which is usually several months after work has already started.Isn't it a bit early to announce S4? It hasn't even been 3 months since S3 was released. Not that I wouldn't be happy but I find this so early.
A little torn.
On the one hand, Cedric will have known how this tweet would be viewed by Shenmue fans and so, unless he’s a complete asshole and is trolling the fan base, it suggests very strongly that there’s news about Shenmue 4 inbound.
On the other hand, do you really think DS and YSNet would be happy with Cedric making a quasi-announcement to his relatively small follower base? It’s possible that he’s just gone off-book and jumped the gun, but if that were the case I’d expect the tweet to have been taken down already or a second tweet to provide some misdirection.
Will be interesting to see how this develops in the coming days.
