Publisher Deep Silver and the Shenmue III development team Ys Net released their 100th update to Kickstarter backers today. How did they celebrate this milestone?

By announcing another delay.

The new release date is now 19 November 2019. Here’s how the team put it in the update:

With that in mind, there’s only two questions worth asking. First, are you bummed about the delay, or are you of the mind that “it’s better to be late than bad?”

Second, how many people have to die before Shenmue III comes out?
