When a sequel was announced, everyone wondered whether the Ghost would return in Ghost of Yotei. But Sucker Punch confirmed a new female protagonist named Atsu will be picking up the baton. So, if you are still wondering if there is any chance Atsu would meet Jin Sakai in Ghost of Yotei, find out the answers here.

Does Jin Sakai Appear in Ghost of Yotei?
Well, to answer your question, no, Jin Sakai does not appear in the story, nor do the players get a chance to play as Jin in Ghost of Yotei. In case you aren’t aware, Ghost of Yotei takes place three centuries following the events of Ghost of Tsushima, precisely in 1603. This fact alone essentially gives away that Jin Sakai is dead during the events of Ghost of Yotei and has become a literal ghost (pun intended) at this point.
However, Sucker Punch doesn’t leave the fans disappointed, as there is a main reference and a mythic tale centered around Jin Sakai in Ghost of Yotei. Kitsune, one of the Yotei Six members, is inspired by Jin Sakai and even talked about how he strayed away from the samurai path and switched to shinobi-esque to drive away the Mongols.
In one of Ugetsu’s mythic tales, you can complete it to earn the Sakai clan’s helmet and also the Sakai katana in the sequel. You can read our How to Get Jin Sakai’s Mask guide to unlock the outfit and weapon.
Jin Sakai’s tale of the ghost is already over in Ghost of Tsushima. Then the players got a chance to relive as Jin in the Iki Island expansion. Now in Ghost of Yotei, it’s all in all Atsu’s revenge tale, but Sucker Punch wonderfully makes a connection to the Ghost in the main story, as well as rewards the players with his armor and katana with a mythic tale quest.
Deep down, we all wish both Atsu and Jin had met at least once, although that will never happen. However, their legendary tales will be passed down to generations. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about the Jin Sakai reference in Ghost of Yotei in the comments below.
