The name of this publisher may not mean anything to you, but he was talked about during the Tokyo Game Show 2021. Why? Simply because in a 40-minute video reviewing the house games, Suzuki-san was given the honors for no apparent reason. Indeed, at the time – and this is still the case today – no collaboration between the Ys Net studio and 110 Industries had been announced.
On Instagram, the publisher recently posted a visual dedicated to Wanted: Dead, an action game developed by Soleil (composed of former Team Ninja who worked on Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden) and expected for the current of this year on current platforms. A Shenmue fan therefore took the opportunity to ask if a rapprochement with Yû Suzuki was on the agenda. An employee of 110 Industries then replied: “Why do you think he appeared in our TGS video?“It was enough to put the fans in turmoil.
Obviously, we will have to wait before knowing if this is a joke or a serious initiative, but within the community, many of them are already imagining a Shenmue 4 on PS5 and Xbox Series. And we can understand them. Finally, for the record, Shenmue is the subject of a 13-episode animated series currently broadcast on Crunchyroll and Adult Swim in particular.
