News: More Shenmue III is on the way with new downloadable content that will allow you to play as someone other than Ryo.

If you have been waiting for some more Shenmue III to play you will be happy to hear that the first piece of DLC will arrive next week. This DLC titled “Battle Rally” will offer fresh gaming activities with a race unlike any other as contestants engage in head to head battles while racing their way through the course.

In a series first, Shenmue III players will have the chance to step into the shoes of another protagonist. In addition to playing as the hero of the story, Ryo Hazuki, players can also choose to play as the treasure-seeking Wuying Ren or as Ryo's sparring partner, Wei Zhen; making her first appearance in Shenmue III. If you can get in first place with these new activities you can potentially win some awesome items.

To up the stakes and win even more fantastic items players can simultaneously search for character Bailu’s official mascot, Bailu-chan. Find as many Bailu-chans as possible to get a leg up on your opponents during the race.

The Shenmue III Battle Rally DLC pack will be available on Jan 21, 2020. The DLC will be available as a digital download through the PlayStation Store and Epic Games Store for $7.99 USD. Users who purchased the Complete DLC Collection of Shenmue III will see the DLC being available automatically on January 21st.
