Sega has been sitting on a finished version of Shenmue HD for the past year, a Gamerzines report is claiming.
It also says it has a finished version of Shenmue II HD ready to go.
The reason its held the two games back, both of which released as Dreamcast and Xbox titles respectively, was down to deciding what path the series had in the future, according to the piece.
Or to be more specific, in Gamerzines’ own words, “whether or not Shenmue III would ever see the light of day.”
The HD port was teased earlier this week by Sega from a GDC GameReactor interview. An unfinished build of Shenmue appeared on PartnerNet, the Xbox Live developer network, in 2010.
Sega’s been approached for comment.
