Inin Games Acquires Publishing Rights for Shenmue 3

Inin Games, known for its focus on retro gaming, has now taken on the publishing responsibilities for Shenmue 3. According to their announcement, this new alliance came about following their previous collaboration with the game’s creator, YsNet, on the project, Air Twister.
