Next Shenmue headed to PC online

Sega's Shenmue series is making the move to PC sometime next year.  The new installment has yet to be titled, but will feature MMO play.  With a $25,945,455 budget, Sega & JC
Entertainment (Korea-based online developer) have been at work on this game since February '03 and are hoping that by bringing the series online they can tap a valuable Chinese market—there are already more than 10 million online gamers there.  While just having launched a branch in Shanghai, Sega is also focused on bringing Phantasy Star and CTRacer to this market.  Still no news as to when or if these games will see an international release.
