Shenmue III PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Well, this is it: your last chance to save Shenmue. It's been a topsy-turvy ride for Yu Suzuki's long awaited Kickstarter campaign, but with the end in sight, it's time for one final push to make Shenmue III a reality. At the time of typing, the title has amassed $5.5 million, which means that it's agonisingly close to breaking Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's record. Once that's beaten, it'll then be a case of the project amassing as much money as it can possibly muster in the final hours.

A few new reward tiers have been announced overnight. If you up your pledge to $39, you'll net a couple of exclusive wallpapers, while your name will be included on the game's official website. It's a minor thing, we suppose – but it's basically just an incentive to increase your pledge by $10. A bunch of character busts were also revealed for $2,500, but they've all been snapped up at the time of typing. There are still some big tiers left, however, like the opportunity to appear on a Lucky Hit board.

Yu Suzuki will be holding a livestream later this evening, which you'll be able to watch live here on Push Square. In the meantime, he shared the embedded video thanking everyone for their support.
