SEGA has announced that they will be releasing a new game but there's a catch.

The new title is being billed as "the third Shenmue game" but the catch is that it is a mobile game and will only be available in Japan.

Shenmue Town will be out later this year on Yahoo! Japanese social network Mobage-Town.

This may be a far cry from the true sequel that Shenmue fans have been clammering for especially seeing that Shenmue Online has been officially cancelled but it may be a sign that SEGA is softening to the idea of returning to their most epic of franchises.

Thanks MCV.
