Shenmue III was originally scheduled to release next Tuesday, on August 27th, but Yu Suzuki and his team at Ys Net decided to postpone the launch date, now set for November 19th. Here's how Suzuki-san explained this decision a couple of months ago:

　　Whilst almost ready, the game simply needs a little more refinement before being truly finished. We feel that the extra time we have will help us deliver the true Shenmue experience players around the world deserve! We thank you for your patience and understanding.

　　While we won't be getting our hands on Shenmue III for another two months and a half or so, publisher Deep Silver did share today a brand new trailer for gamescom 2019, titled 'A Day in Shenmue'. You can watch it below.

　　Shenmue III will be available on PC via the Epic Games Store and on PlayStation 4, priced $49.99. Pre-orders are already live.

　　Play as Ryo Hazuki, an 18-year-old Japanese martial artist hell-bent on avenging his father's death. In this third installment of the epic Shenmue series, Ryo seeks to solve the mystery behind the Phoenix Mirror, an artifact sought after by his father's killer. His journey takes him to an immersive representation of rural China, brimming with activity and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Ryo's adventure leads him to towns and mountain villages where he can further his training, try his hand at gambling, play arcade games, and work part-time jobs while investigating those who know truth behind the Phoenix Mirror.
