The eagerly anticipated continuation of the epic story-driven saga from the award-winning game director Yu Suzuki is drawing near. Shenmue III is coming soon DRM-free on GOG.COM! Take control of Ryo Hazuki, a teenage martial artist, determined to unravel the mystery behind his father's death.
First Wonder Boy/Monster Boy, Panzer Dragoon: Remake, Streets of Rage 4 and now Shenmue III.

Wait, aren't those SEGA's IPs? Is it too silly to think Sonic games could end up here soon? SEGA should consider releasing at least Generations and Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing here.

tfishell: btw the release date is wrong I think - "November 19, 2020" should be "November 19, 2019". But it looks like the store page still has some work to be done anyway, looking at the empty "System requirements". edit: I guess that was the EGS release date, but maybe GOG won't be going by that.
Yeah, GOG recently does that with Epic exclusives to gloss over the fact that the games are already one year old.

Comes close to fraudulent labeling, if you ask me.

Same happened with Observation when the release date on the game card was "post-dated" by one year.
OMG! this is an incredible release! ^_^
Awesome, will be looking forward to this. Wishlisted for now.
Hey GOG, Phoenix Point is coming here to once the exclusivity is done. Why no story on that sweet looking game?
Shenmue III sounds awesome. Thanks GoG. But would it be perfect to be released together with first and second part of series:)
the GOG subreddit is talking about the mediocrity of this game. hopefully GOG will still make a profit off the release though
Well that's a surprise.
I already have it through KickStarter, but I think I'll double dip here aswell, just because I would love a DRM free copy, and also want to support GoG getting more games.
A game that didn't age well...at release.
high rated

I dunno if I'd double dip on this. First backers screwed over on epic exclusivity. Then they screwed over on a season pass backers never got. Third way screwed over was a physcial copy that was just a installer for a launcher on PC (that cost $30 to get above the digital copy?!)

Anime-BlackWolf: I hope you can convince SEGA/the publisher to release part 1 and 2 here, too. Only part 3 would be kind of useless...

Exceed20XX: Very much agreed. Hell it'd be great in general to see Sega's back catalog here in general, especially if they could resurrect a few of those vintage PC ports they did like Virtua Fighter 2 and classic Panzer Dragoon. Valkyria Chronicles 1 is also already DRM-free elsewhere, as are several of the "Dreamcast" banner titles.
Where can I find those DRM-Free SEGA games?
That's a surprise. I will for sure buy it, even though I already got it from kickstarter.


Is it perfect and AAA? No, but expect at least a very charming game that i personally don't know how one couldn't like it at all. Especially if you experienced part 1+2 in it's time.
I don't know if the game is good or not because I wanted to discover it by myself, but I'm surprised and more than happy to see it coming to GOG.

the_importer: Where can I find those DRM-Free SEGA games?
Valkyria Chronicles (first one), Sonic Adventure DX, Space Channel 5 Part 2, Sega Bass Fishing, and Crazy Taxi are all DRM-free on Steam. The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive collection also used to be DRM-free over there too (might not be now after the last batch of updates) but you can still use the roms it provides for emulators and such. Sonic 3K's Steam rom also inserts into an unofficial PC native remaster that can run without Steam. (Sonic 3 A.I.R.)

Once you've used the client to download the games you can just pack them up and use them elsewhere, regardless of if Steam is installed or not.

darthspudius: Seems illogical without the first two. So, I assume those two are on the way also.
Different publisher, so no guarantees.
Shenmue 3 was made on a license by Sega to the original creator, and Deep Silver stepped in to publish it.

Just like Streets of Rage 4 and Panzer Dragoon, Sega's cool with letting other devs make games for its IP, as long as it doesn't have to incur any costs themselves. But that doesn't mean they themselves will be jumping on the GOG train any time soon- at least we can't take this as any indicaiton.
Not that I'd say no to having the Yakuza games here or anything. Premium single-player only content belongs on DRM-free stores.
