YS Net has brought Keiji Okayasu on board and he will henceforth be working on Shenmue 3. Okayasu was sub-director for the original Shenmue and Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast, and he will assume that role once again, this time for the third entry of the series.
YS Net owner and Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki contacted Okayasu and asked him to join the team, and no doubt fans will be glad he accepted, as this is surely good news for the project as it continues to be made for PC and PlayStation 4.
