Leaked Trailer for Long-Awaited Sequel Confirmed to Be Fake

A fake trailer for the highly anticipated game Shenmue IV appeared online in early December 2025, but the game’s developer, YS NET Inc., quickly confirmed it was created using artificial intelligence. While making AI-generated trailers is a common trend, releasing them as if they are real is misleading. This can confuse fans eagerly awaiting news about the game and creates problems for the developers. Ys Net had to spend time publicly clarifying the situation with a detailed message in both Japanese and English.
