<p>This E3&#8217;s been all about old classics, it seems, and Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki doesn&#8217;t wanna be left out. At Sony&#8217;s E3 2015 conference, Suzuki announced that he&#8217;s formally launching a Kickstarter for the series&#8217; long-demanded sequel.</p>
<p><em>Shenmue 3</em>, as it&#8217;ll be officially named if made, needs $2 million in pledges by <strong>July 17th </strong>and has 31 days left for you to pledge. Last we checked, the project had already amassed over half-a-million dollars at the time of this writing in less than an hour of its reveal.</p>
<p>Shenmue isn&#8217;t the first formally dead game series to head to Kickstarter for a crowd-funded revival. Konami&#8217;s Castlevania series now has a successor in <em><a href="https://bagogames.com/castlevania-creators-new-game-is-bloodstained/">Bloodstained</a></em> and Mega Man has <em>Mighty Number 9</em>. We&#8217;ll see just how long <em>Shenmue III</em> possibly needs to get funded.</p>
