In a surprising turn of events, YS Net, the studio founded by renowned Sega designer Yu Suzuki, has publicly denied any association with a purported Shenmue 4 trailer that has been making the rounds on social media. The studio’s statement highlights the importance of authenticity in the gaming industry, especially as the line between real and AI-generated content continues to blur. The alleged trailer, which surfaced last week, was criticized by YS Net for using the company logo without permission, misleading fans into believing it was an official release.

With the rise of social media and the omnipresence of cameras, Suda believes now is the perfect time to revisit this concept, either through a sequel or a remake.
