In December last year, Inin Games said they were looking to port Shenmue 3 to current-gen platforms . Here we are eight months later, and it's now a reality.

Inin Games, along with Ys Net, announced Shenmue 3 Enhanced for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC.

While the official unveiling will take place at gamescom this week, information about the new features and upgrades has been revealed by the publisher.

Inin Games has also announced that owners of the original Shenmue 3 on PS4 and PC will be offered an upgrade path to the Enhanced Edition, though it doesn't sound like it'll be free (probably discounted rate compared to the base game price).

Even at release, our review of Shenmue 3 was already oozing with positivity , as we state, "Shenmue 3 is filled with antiquated design choices, a whole lot of charm, and is ultimately a promise fulfilled. Fans got a legitimate Shenmue title in every way possible, warts and all."

Expect our first look at Shenmue 3's new features and upgraded visuals at Gamescom, which kicks off tomorrow with Gamescom Opening Night Live that's set to last for at least two hours .
