In a bold move, YS Net, the studio founded by legendary game designer Yu Suzuki, has publicly denied any affiliation with a purported Shenmue 4 trailer that has been circulating on social media. The studio’s statement comes in response to a video that allegedly showcases footage from the highly anticipated RPG sequel, which they claim is misleading and possibly AI-generated. The studio emphasized that the video, which misuses their logo, has “absolutely no connection to YS Net” and that they have not released any official promotional materials for Shenmue 4.
