Microsoft’s Windows Store may have leaked the release date for the remastered collection of Shenmue 1 and 2. According to its official Windows Store page, the first two Shenmue games will release on August 21st.
In case you weren’t aware of, Shenmue I & II will re-release as a collection and will come complete with the original feature set that defined modern gaming, including enthralling jujitsu combat, investigative sleuthing, and RPG elements in addition to memorable mini-games.
The re-release will stay true to the originals with modernised features including fully scalable screen resolution, choice of modern or classic control schemes, PC graphics options, an updated user interface and the option to enjoy either the original Japanese or English voice overs.
SEGA has not confirmed – nor denied – yet this release date!
UPDATE:
SEGA has confirmed that the Shenmue 1 and 2 remaster collection will release on August 21st, and that it will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.

Im very much looking forward to playing through these games again and playing Shenmue 3. I really hope this will release on Steam as well.
It’s on steam ,don’t worry!
Thats really good then.
Minus Sony…
You arent the first to assume that my nic is an anagram of minus Sony. I had people asking me if it was that all the time when I used to play EQ back in the day and after Sony took over from Verant.
There is a story behind it, but its nothing to do with Sony and it isn’t very interesting.
Looking forward to play Shenmue 1 e 2.
Still remember the day my friend destroyed my social life when he showed this game on dreamcast.
He passed away 2 years ago. Rip bro gonna replay this gem for our good old days
Sorry to hear about your friend, hopefully replaying this will bring back the good times you to had.
Ty. Sure this game will bring back tons of good moments
One that got away… This will be a priority purchase.
Really curious about this. I’m glad I never pushed myself to emulate the Dreamcast to play these.
It’s official…Shenmue 1+2 will release on August 21 and contain denuvo…
I guess I could play Shenmue again before the final chapter releases =)
its like companies want me to justify me pirating games i would have bought
And the funny thing is that game is free lol
Only if you live in a region where Xbox GamePass is available.
Dude, remaster, not remake. Get it straight.
I will enjoy 🙂
Really hoping you gonna buy Yakuza games as well thou since those games to me always felt like Shenmue…but actually fun to play 😀 and they are just 20 bucks a piece (18 if you grab them now in summer sale).
