Shenmue 3 epic exclusive update#
Comparing the most recent update blog on the game's Kickstarter page (date June 10) to the update blog before it (dated June 4), changes can be clearly seen. Some of those unhappy with the move to the EGS have shared screenshots of their correspondence with the game's support team regarding refunds, confirming that refunds are not being issued at this time.Īs pointed out on Twitter by Segalization, it seems the shift from Steam to the Epic Games Store was done relatively recently. To rub salt into the wound, it appears that the " Shenmue III Team" is refusing to provide disgruntled backers refunds.
The comments on both the official exclusivity announcement and Twitter have been less than amicable. Some watching the show, including myself and a colleague, noticed the absence of the Steam logo from the end of the trailer above, leading us to speculate that the game might be yet another timed exclusive on PC.Īs short-lived as that speculation was, so too was the understanding of those who had backed the project on Kickstarter. Both physical and digital PC copies of the game will now come with an Epic Games key instead of a Steam key.
Now it's time to add Shenmue 3 to the list.įollowing the PC Gaming Show at E3 2019, where new Shenmue 3 gameplay was revealed, Ys Net, the game's developer, confirmed that the JRPG would be exclusive to the EGS.
Original story: Since its launch last year, the Epic Games Store has steadily gobbled up timed exclusives, including Metro Exodus, The Outer Wilds, and The Division 2. Currently, Shenmue 3 will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for one year.
