Shenmue 3 footage takes us on a tour of its world

Dreamy.

Shenmue 3 is now less than two months from release - and if that makes you very excited, then you'll probably want to indulge in its new Tokyo Games Show trailer below.

Rather than focusing on plot or action, this video takes us on a quiet, three-minute tour of some locations. The official Shenmue 3 YouTube channel describes it as a mood video and, from fan reactions, it is certainly doing the job.

"Shenmue is about a sense of place and this captures that wonderfully," our Matt Reynolds told me, wistfully staring at the trailer's pumpkins and sunflowers. "It's got a lovely countryside vibe which evokes Shenmue more than previous trailers."
