No direct appearances from main Ghost of Tsushima characters like Jin Sakai or Yuna, but there are subtle references and Easter eggs. NPCs might mention historical events from Tsushima, and some legends in Yotei hint at the influence of the Ghost. It’s more of a spiritual successor than a literal continuation.
Answered for the Question: "Does the story of Ghost of Yotei feature any characters from Ghost of Tsushima?"
No, it does not. Ghost of Yotei features a completely new cast of characters, a new protagonist, and is set in a different part of Japan over a century after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. While it exists in the same broader historical world, it's a standalone narrative. The legend of the Ghost as a concept might be whispered about, but Jin Sakai, Lord Shimura, and Yuna are not part of this story. The developers made a smart choice to tell a fresh story, which lets this game stand on its own two feet without relying on nostalgia.

This was a really smart move by Sucker Punch. It lets them explore a new time period and themes without being constrained by the events of the first game. It's similar to how games like Final Fantasy or The Elder Scrolls have sequels; they share a genre and feel, but tell independent stories. So if you loved Tsushima, you'll feel right at home, but you'll also be experiencing something fresh and new.
Answered for the Question: "Is Ghost of Yotei a direct sequel to Ghost of Tsushima?"
The core "standoff, stances, parry, dodge" loop is still there and feels as great as ever, but they've built significantly on top of it. The biggest addition is the Spirit Gauge. By performing perfect parries/dodges and using certain charms, you build up a spirit meter that can be spent on powerful Kami Techniques. These are special abilities tied to the guardian spirits you befriend, like summoning a gust of wind to stagger all enemies around you or creating a temporary ice wall for cover. It adds a strategic resource management layer to the otherwise reaction-based combat.
Answered for the Question: "How does the combat system in Ghost of Yotei compare to the first game?"
This is the best news. The original Legends mode was one of the best surprise multiplayer additions in recent memory. I can't wait to see what they do with the new setting and mechanics. Imagine a class based around the Emishi hunter, or one that specializes in the new Kami Techniques. The Raid missions in the first game were incredible, so the potential for a new one set in the spirit world or on the slopes of Mount Yotei is huge. It's definitely something to look forward to a few months down the line.
