In a bold move, YS Net, the studio founded by legendary game designer Yu Suzuki, has publicly denied any association with a purported Shenmue 4 trailer that has been circulating on social media. The studio’s statement emphasizes that the video, which misuses their logo and could potentially be AI-generated, is entirely unofficial and misleading. This incident highlights the challenges developers face in an era where misinformation can spread rapidly, especially in the gaming community.
