The game will be set approximately 150 years after the events of <a data-ref-id="3030-229" href="/kingdom-under-fire-the-crusaders/3030-229/">     Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders </a> features the return of the Human Alliance, the Dark Legion and the mysterious Encablossians whose aim is to destroy the Age of Light which has far overrun its natural course.  The Encablossians are let by the Dark Warrior Regnier who allied himself with Encabblosa while trapped in the Dark Dimension.<br /><br /><h3>First trailer released</h3><br />on November 13, 2008, a trailer was released to the public. It showed a new character wielding a large sword and also being able to shoot guns. The number of units seem to be in-game and number in the estimated thousands. "Wyverns" were also shown but this time it seems you will have the option to directly control them. Another interesting aspect of the trailer is the fact that archers were seen on top of a castle wall, possible hinting at castle sieges. Finally, near the end of the trailer, a large creature was shown stomping through the battlefield and crushing units under it's feet. This could possible be a new unit or a successor to the "mammoth" in the original game.<br /><br /><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/14036/813198-00773930.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-813198" data-size="small" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.5625"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:56.3%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/14036/813198-00773930.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-813198"><img alt="Many old characters will be returning." src="https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_small/1/14036/813198-00773930.jpg" srcset="https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/1/14036/813198-00773930.jpg 1280w, https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_super/1/14036/813198-00773930.jpg 960w, https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_medium/1/14036/813198-00773930.jpg 480w, https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_small/1/14036/813198-00773930.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></a><figcaption>Many old characters will be returning.</figcaption></figure> The game takes place 150 years after the conclusion of  Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders.

The game also introduces a new <a href="/random-loot/3015-365/" data-ref-id="3015-365">loot-dropping</a> system based on the "Gear System" of <a href="/injustice-2/3030-54144/" data-ref-id="3030-54144">Injustice 2</a>, allowing players to earn new outfits, cosmetics, and bonus consumables (for use in single-player modes).

Unlike previous entries, MK11 has split its meters into offensive and defensive components. Super moves, called "<a href="/xray-damage/3015-8555/" data-ref-id="3015-8555">X-Rays</a>" in previous games, have been replaced with "Fatal Blow" attacks, which can be triggered when a player is at or below 30% health.</p><p>Characters can be customized cosmetically as well as from a gameplay perspective, with new moves that can be mapped onto a fighter, replacing or enhancing some of their base moves. Different versions of <a href="/sub-zero/3005-2/" data-ref-id="3005-2">Sub-Zero</a>, for example, may have his traditional slide or a standing shoulder charge.</p><p>The game also features consumable augments that can enhance a character's abilities and stats. Other consumables allow players to summon missiles, meteors, or even other characters for assist attacks. These summons appear to be missing from the multiplayer side of the game, but can be used in the Towers of Time, a rotating list of challenges that are pattern after MKX's Living Towers or <a href="/injustice-2/3030-54144/" data-ref-id="3030-54144">Injustice 2</a>'s Multiverse. Summons are activated by flicking the right analog stick in a specific direction.</p><h2>Playable Roster</h2><p>The base game includes 25 playable characters, one of which was a pre-order bonus (also made DLC) and one of which is unlockable (either by playing through Story Mode or through DLC).</p><h3>New Additions</h3><ul><li><a href="/cetrion/3005-39596/" data-ref-id="3005-39596">Cetrion</a></li><li><a href="/geras/3005-39448/" data-ref-id="3005-39448">Geras</a></li><li><a href="/kollector/3005-39648/" data-ref-id="3005-39648">Kollector</a></li></ul><h3>Returning Fighters</h3><ul><li><a href="/baraka/3005-64/" data-ref-id="3005-64">Baraka</a></li><li><a href="/cassie-cage/3005-29593/" data-ref-id="3005-29593">Cassie Cage</a></li><li><a href="/d-vorah/3005-29591/" data-ref-id="3005-29591">D’Vorah</a></li><li><a href="/erron-black/3005-31428/" data-ref-id="3005-31428">Erron Black</a></li><li><a href="/frost/3005-380/" data-ref-id="3005-380">Frost</a> (unlocked either through Story Mode or purchasing via DLC)</li><li><a href="/jacqueline-briggs/3005-31423/" data-ref-id="3005-31423">Jacqui Briggs</a></li><li><a href="/jade/3005-386/" data-ref-id="3005-386">Jade</a></li><li><a href="/jax/3005-235/" data-ref-id="3005-235">Jax</a></li><li><a href="/johnny-cage/3005-224/" data-ref-id="3005-224">Johnny Cage</a></li><li><a href="/kabal/3005-218/" data-ref-id="3005-218">Kabal</a></li><li><a href="/kano/3005-216/" data-ref-id="3005-216">Kano</a></li><li><a href="/kitana/3005-391/" data-ref-id="3005-391">Kitana</a></li><li><a href="/kotal-kahn/3005-29596/" data-ref-id="3005-29596">Kotal Kahn</a></li><li><a href="/kung-lao/3005-392/" data-ref-id="3005-392">Kung Lao</a></li><li><a href="/liu-kang/3005-188/" data-ref-id="3005-188">Liu Kang</a></li><li><a href="/noob-saibot/3005-152/" data-ref-id="3005-152">Noob Saibot</a></li><li><a href="/raiden/3005-125/" data-ref-id="3005-125">Raiden</a></li><li><a href="/scorpion/3005-1/" data-ref-id="3005-1">Scorpion</a></li><li><a href="/shao-kahn/3005-91/" data-ref-id="3005-91">Shao Kahn</a> (<a href="/pre-order-exclusive/3015-4695/" data-ref-id="3015-4695">pre-order bonus</a>, later released as paid DLC)</li><li><a href="/skarlet/3005-18367/" data-ref-id="3005-18367">Skarlet</a></li><li><a href="/sonya-blade/3005-70/" data-ref-id="3005-70">Sonya Blade</a></li><li><a href="/sub-zero/3005-2/" data-ref-id="3005-2">Sub-Zero</a></li></ul><h3>Post-Release DLC</h3><h4>Kombat Pack</h4><ul><li><a href="/shang-tsung/3005-92/" data-ref-id="3005-92">Shang Tsung</a> (features the voice and likeness of <a href="/cary-hiroyuki-tagawa/3040-165701/" data-ref-id="3040-165701">Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa</a>, who portrayed him in the 1995 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_(film)" data-target="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mortal Kombat</a> film, added on June 25, 2019)</li><li><a href="/nightwolf/3005-399/" data-ref-id="3005-399">Nightwolf</a> (added on August 12, 2019)</li><li><a href="/t-800/3005-5820/" data-ref-id="3005-5820">The Terminator</a> (<a href="/guest-character/3015-7438/" data-ref-id="3015-7438">guest character</a> from the 2019 film <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator:_Dark_Fate" data-target="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terminator: Dark Fate</a>, added on October 15, 2019)</li><li><a href="/sindel/3005-407/" data-ref-id="3005-407">Sindel</a> (will be released on November 26, 2019)</li><li><a href="/the-joker/3005-952/" data-ref-id="3005-952">Joker</a> (guest character from the <a href="/dc-universe/3025-138/" data-ref-id="3025-138">DC Universe</a> franchise, will be released on January 28, 2020)</li><li><a href="/spawn/3005-2694/" data-ref-id="3005-2694">Spawn</a> (guest character from the <a href="/spawn/3025-908/" data-ref-id="3025-908">Spawn</a> franchise, will be released on March 17, 2020)</li></ul>

A visual novel developed by Kemco that is based on the werewolf game, also known as mafia, where a group of people are trapped in a rural mountain village surrounded by a mysterious mist.

A reboot of the sword-slashing series of the same name, Samurai Shodown combines an updated 3D cel-shaded style with the series's traditional 2D roots.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Shenmue III is the long awaited third installment of the <a href="/shenmue/3025-602/" data-ref-id="3025-602">Shenmue</a> franchise. Continuing from where Shenmue II left off, protagonist Ryo Hazuki travels to Guilin China in order to trace his father's murderer, shadowy Triad boss Lan Di.</p><h2>Development</h2><p> </p><p>After the commercial failure of <a href="/shenmue-ii/3030-1187/" data-ref-id="3030-1187">Shenmue II</a>, SEGA put the series on indefinite hiatus. However in June 2015, its <a href="/kickstarter-funded/3015-7378/" data-ref-id="3015-7378">Kickstarter</a> campaign was announced at <a href="/playstation/3045-22/" data-ref-id="3045-22">Sony's </a><a href="/e3-2015/3015-8442/" data-ref-id="3015-8442">E3 2015</a> press conference, by creator <a href="/yu-suzuki/3040-15149/" data-ref-id="3040-15149">Yu Suzuki</a> and <a href="/sony-corporation/3010-3223/" data-ref-id="3010-3223">Sony</a> representative <a href="/adam-boyes/3040-7181/" data-ref-id="3040-7181">Adam Boyes</a>. The Kickstarter's initial starting target was $2,000,000, which was reached within just 8 hours of the announcement, breaking records for being the fastest game ever to reach $1 million and then $2 million on Kickstarter, and the second fastest Kickstarter campaign ever to reach $1 million (after the Pebble Time smart watch). The Kickstarter would go on to finish at a recording breaking $6,333,295. Yu Suzuki would later receive <a href="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2016/1/japanese-videogame-designer-yu-suzuki-accepts-certificates-for-shemue-3-crowdfund" rel="nofollow">Guinness World Record certificates</a> for <strong>Fastest $1million pledged for a crowdfunded videogame </strong>and <strong>Most money pledged for a Kickstarter videogame</strong>.</p><p>In September 2015, a <a href="https://shenmue.link/order/" rel="nofollow">Slacker Backer website</a> was unveiled due to fan demand to contribute via PayPal.

Both the PS4 and PC versions of the game, along with selected Kickstarter rewards tiers, are available to order via the Slacker Backer website.</p><p>The press release states the game is licensed by SEGA, and developed by <a href="/ys-net/3010-11164/" data-ref-id="3010-11164">Ys Net</a> and <a href="/neilo/3010-9176/" data-ref-id="3010-9176">Neilo Inc</a>.</p><p>There was some confusion and controversy regarding the funding of Shenmue III and who its external backers were, with many assuming Sony was footing the bill, but early in the second week a <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/posts/1273833" rel="nofollow">budget statement</a> was released that clarified Sony's position as marketing and publishing assistance. This would be later substantiated when Shenmue III's Producer Cedric Biscay <a href="https://twitter.com/CedricBiscay/status/645483756371873792" rel="nofollow">stated via Twitter</a> that his company Shibuya Productions were the "main investor", and again when he called Sony's role a "<a href="http://www.gameblog.fr/interview_948_shenmue-3-notre-grande-interview-de-yu-suzuki-et-cedric-bisc" rel="nofollow">marketing investment</a>".</p><p>The Kickstarter has updated monthly since its funding completed, with updates ranging from <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/posts/1336892" rel="nofollow">progress updates</a>, <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/posts/1530741" rel="nofollow">motion capture testing</a>, and <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/posts/1585673" rel="nofollow">cutscene storyboarding</a>.</p><p>In February 2016, Yu Suzuki attended Shibuya Productions' annual Anime and Games conference in Monaco, MAGIC. <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/posts/1502265" rel="nofollow">New screens of Shenmue III were released</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25_ShmP8sLE" rel="nofollow">short videos of the Shenmue III prototype</a> were shown to the audience.
