"Shenmue 3" is "a seamless sequel to the series that makes up for its limitations with pure heart," we said in our 83/100 review. Its first DLC, "Battle Rally," is a bit different, a three-way footrace fistfight between Ryo Hazuki, Wu Ying Ren, and Wei Zhen, with a "great item" waiting for first place.

If you are not familiar with how the Footrace Fistfight takes place, here is a video of the gameplay.

The second DLC to be released next week will be quite substantial. Titled "Story Quest Pack," this DLC will reunite Ryo with Chang Shu-jin, a character who reappears from Shenmue 2. In this DLC, it seems that players will need to be rescued several times as they are "quickly caught up in a new escapade where nothing is as it seems."

The Story Quest Pack DLC will be released on February 18 and will be available on the Epic Games Store for $6/£5/€6. Like the Battle Rally DLC, players must have reached Niaowu in the base game to access the DLC Niaowu in the base game to access the DLC.
