Most gamers can't hide their happiness when they heard that Koji Igarashi are interested to revive Castlevania: Symphony of the Night with a look and a new name. Nostalgic aura is so powerful as strong in blood flow, making the project known as "bloodstained: Ritual of the Night" is the most successful game in Kickstarter partially with success to gain funding more than $ 5.5 million in a comparatively short time. But the popularity of "Castlevania" is nothing compared to what was achieved by Yu Suzuki with Shenmue 3.
You who follow Sony at E3 2015 event yesterday will remember the hype that built up in the startling announcement. Having beaten Final Fantasy VII Remake, the existence of Shenmue 3 already dreamed for many years, it also ends up being a reality. Using Kickstarter as a funding method, it managed to gain a lot of money within 24 hours. Shenmue 3 ended up being the most successful video game in Kickstarter funding, beyond what is achieved bloodstained some time ago. Shenmue 3 managed to get a USD 6,333,295 - or $ 4 million higher than the initial target of USD 2 million.
Shemue 3 itself will be launched in December 2017, for the PlayStation 4 and PC. YS Net as the developer would be responsible for development. While Sony, will act as partner and publisher, and certainly they will not get funds from Kickstarter.
