The creator of the series Yu Suzuki has been fuelling recent speculation about the future of the Shenmue series.

Speaking at the announcement of the new social game Shenmue City, Suzuki said that he wanted to make the third chapter in the series as with the previous episodes it will not come easy though.

Suzuki began: "I want to make 3 with the same volume as in the past. There have actually been a lot of requests from fans for 3 as well. There were even petitions signed by by tens of thousands of people." He added: "Shenmue has the image of grand scale but making something of grand scale requires appropriate preparation."

Thanks IGN.
