He's not a confirmed guest. He was the first guest confirmed for MAGIC 2016.
As Peter has been telling us, it was always unlikely for Yu to make the trip because of the work schedule as they steam ahead through production. Cedric said at the start of the month he was hoping to get an answer as to whether Yu would come or not, but at this late a stage it is very unlikely the answer is going to be "yes".
But of course, Yu not being there doesn't necessarily mean Shenmue III won't be either. We just have to wait and see how that plays out.
