Ys Net and Deep Silver have confirmed that Shenmue III will feature forklifts, ensuring that any and all fans of the warehouse-based vehicle will be very happy indeed. While the screenshot above shows Ryo behind the wheel of a forklift, it still leaves one vital question unanswered.
Will you be able to race them?! In the first Shenmue game, forklifts played a major role during the later stages in which Ryo had a job driving them at the harbour, while gathering information on local gang, the Mad Angels. Every day, he'd also get to partake in a daily warm-up race before his shift.
It'd be safe to assume that forklift racing will return for Shenmue III, as we can't think of a single plausible reason as to why it wouldn't. Of course, you'll likely get to move crates and boxes around too. Shenmue III is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 4 on 27th August 2019. With forklifts.
