Today's first freebie coincides with the start of Epic's annual Holiday Sale, which brings discounts of 10-95% across a wide selection of games and add-ons. And although the company hasn't spelled out its schedule precisely, a leak last week (which correctly named Shenmue 3 as the first freebie) claimed the first 14 titles would remain free for 24 hours while the final game would stick around for a week, until 6th January.

It is, then, perhaps a little niche as a launching point for this year's series of festive giveaways on the Epic Games Store, but still one worthy of your time, provided you're in the mood for action that feels like it was sealed in a time bubble and spat forward 20 years to the present day. Picking up where Shenmue 2 left off, part 3 sees protagonist Ryo Hazuki resume his quest for vengeance after the murder of his father in the original, delivering a new chapter that Eurogamer's Martin Robison called both "archaic and arcane" and "a worthy successor to what many consider an all-time great" in his review. Shenmue 3 is, of course, the long, long, long-awaited third instalment in developer Yu Suzuki's classic action-adventure series, which finally arrived in 2019 following a gap of 18 years between it and its predecessor. More updates and announcements will be coming at the PC Gaming Show 2019, so stay tuned.Tis the season of festive sales in video game land, and the Epic Games Store has now thrown open its shutters and bellowed news of its own discount offerings into the cold winter night, which includes the return of its daily "mystery gift" free games, starting with Shenmue 3. However, it’s since been delayed to November 19th. Shenmue 3 is still coming to the PlayStation 4 as well and was slated to arrive in August. We’ll see how this pans out for the game in the long run. Suffice it to say, the comments on the Kickstarter post for Shenmue 3 are not positive. This isn’t the first time that a crowd-funded title has suddenly shifted from Steam to the Epic Games Store – the same thing happened to Phoenix Point recently. But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option.” Over on Kickstarter, the development team said, “Development for Shenmue 3 has been moving forward using Unreal Engine and the support we have received from Epic has been excellent. However, perhaps more surprising is that several months before release, Ys Net has announced that the PC version will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store. Check it out below and marvel at Ryo’s martial arts prowess. Ys Net have unveiled a new gameplay trailer for Shenmue 3, the highly-anticipated follow-up to the cult-classic series.
