"Where is the mirror?"

Ten hours after appearing during PlayStation's big E3 2015 press conference in dramatic fashion, Shenmue III has hit its funding target. The game – which will now launch on the PlayStation 4 and PC – smashed all sorts of records, racing to its $2 million target faster than any other title in history. Let's hope that the funders don't... Change their mind.

The financing drive means that one of the most demanded sequels of all time will now get made. Following on from the events of Shenmue II, the title will take place in China during the 80s, and will see you searching for Lan-Di – the antagonist who killed protagonist Ryo Hazuki's father at the start of the very first game.

There are still tons of stretch goals to meet, including subtitles for various languages – and additional minigames. And with over 30 days still to go, we suspect that this may end up breaking a few more records by the time that it's done. Have you backed Yu Suzuki's long overdue project yet?
