Publisher Deep Silver has shot done rumors that Shenmue III<\/em> will be coming to Xbox One. In the source code for the official website of the game, users on ResetEra<\/a> found references to a possible port for Microsoft’s console. This led to speculation that the long-awaited follow-up to Yu Suzuki’s martial arts epic would be finding a home on the platform. Twitter user Wario64 even shared the find<\/a>, which sparked more belief that the rumor was true.<\/p> Not wishing to have misinformation spread, Deep Silver issued a comment on Twitter<\/a>. In its statement, the company said, “There is no planned version of Shenmue III<\/em> for Xbox One.” While that doesn’t 100% confirm the game will never reach Xbox One, you won’t be playing it on the platform in 2019. While that is sad, the lack of a port is likely due to the indie nature of the game. Yu Suzuki took to Kickstarter four years ago<\/a> to make his dream a possibility. The game may have broken Kickstarter records<\/a>, but there likely isn’t enough funding to secure an Xbox One version.<\/p> You never know, though. Maybe Deep Silver is playing coy and waiting for E3 to reveal the news. I honestly don’t believe so, but stranger things have happened.<\/p>
