Shenmue IV may be in development, if a recent statement from a Japanese contract developer at YS Net is to be believed.

On the website Wantedly, this developer posted the following:

"As a game designer, I planned the system and scenario for a new game while also revamping the workflow as the person in charge of promoting the organization's DX (Digital Transformation).

• Planning and specification development for a new title. Using UE5 and Figma, I was responsible for everything from creating specifications for the system, scenario, and mini-games to implementation verification. In particular, I made revised proposals to enhance the consistency between the world view and the action based on meticulous research and interviews about martial arts.

• I built a workflow for rapid decision-making support and action plan development using AI, such as extracting issues from meeting logs and early visualization of concept art.

• Revamping the internal DX and information sharing system on the Notion platform. I promoted the introduction of Notion to resolve shortcomings in information aggregation and progress management. Through the development of operational rules and templating, I digitized the flow of reporting, communication, and consultation, and established knowledge sharing within the organization.

• Results: In addition to planning the system and scenario using UE5, I strengthened the consistency of the action based on research into martial arts. I led the construction of an AI-based decision-making support flow and the revamping of the internal DX and information sharing system on the Notion platform, improving the overall driving force of the organization.

Contract expires upon completion of assigned phase."

According to fans on the Shenmue Dojo forum, this statement points towards the existence of a new Shenmue title, as the details outlined here do not line up with those of Shenmue III Enhanced, the upcoming remaster of Shenmue III.

By all accounts, this appears to be a brand-new game. But do you think it will be Shenmue-related?

To all #Shenmue fans, are @ININ_Games devaluing the franchise and throwing away a great opportunity to get new fans and sales by not engaging with the community? #LetsGetShenmue4

[Trainee Dev @TraineeDev]

@SteCarter86 @ININ_Games Totally agree.

@ININ_Games What’s going on with Shenmue 3 Enhanced?

[Trainee Dev @TraineeDev]

Hi @ININ_Games are pre-orders for Shenmue 3 Enhanced still on track for Q4 2026 as your website says? Your silence is hard to believe.

[Trainee Dev @TraineeDev]

@GuiLoreiro @ININ_Games Completely agree. Its an absolute joke.
