Shenmue 3 has set a new funding record in Kickstarter’s video games category, overtaking Koji Igarashi’s Bloodstained.
Bloodstained closed on $5,545,991.
With 13 hours remaining Ys Net now has its sights set on $6 million which would unlock an advanced battle system.
Earlier today Yu Suzuki put out a video plea encouraging fans to help make the Shenmue 3 dream a reality, and it appears to have done the trick.
Payment will be taken from backers once the Kickstarter closes, with the full game scheduled to arrive in 2017.
