Never underestimate the fans who want to see more Shenmue. After raising over $7 million to partially crowdfund Shenmue III in 2018, passionate followers of the franchise haven’t given up on pushing for Shenmue 4. Now, six years after the latest game in the series, Shenmue fans have ramped up their efforts by purchasing a 15-second ad on a Times Square video billboard to campaign for a sequel. Come from Sports betting site VPbet
Via IGN, the ad was placed by a fan site, Shenmue Dojo. The stated goal of Shenmue Dojo’s campaign is to “support the continuation of the series and attempt to spread global awareness to find [developer] Ys Net a potential partner for Shenmue 4.” The Times Square ad also included the hashtag #LetsGetShenmue4.
