Ren is confirmed to return.

Further info and some gameplay/story spoilers. Read at your own risk:

He will also be playable during a certain part of the game with the Character Perspective System. A blurry image of his in-progress character model was also spotted in one of the articles/interviews published during Gamescom last year.


The rest are up in the air, but I doubt they'll appear as part of the story. Maybe as characters you can call up on the phone.

I don't think we'll see Wong or Joy again, their part in the story seems pretty much done. Ren will definitely return, Guizhang will almost certainly return at some point in the future, but not necessarily in 3. Zhu could go either way.

I'm not so sure about Guizhang. The bones in his leg must have been pulverized. It was so bad they didn't even show it on-screen. I think the talk about him catching up was just mercifully avoiding stating the obvious, that his bones were powder and he'd likely never walk without assistance again.

That got dark quick.

Maybe Guizhang can show us how to do a back flip with crutches.

Sorry, I know it's grim. But wasn't it a steel I-beam that dropped on him? It just underscores how vicious and deadly Chai really is. So you know Ryo put every iota of his strength into the devastating elbow strike that sent Chai overboard in the "lost" chapter between Shenmue I and II. What Chai did to Guizhang was so ugly that it makes me glad that it seems likely we'll see Chai again, so he can be properly dealt with in gameplay.

According to what little I've read online, Ren is coming back. Zhu Yuanda, Wong, Gui Zhang may make cameos through phone calls. Joy is very likely to make a cameo or surprise appearance. She played a big role in 2, so I don't see them throwing her and Ren aside and forgetting them.

Also, I've been watching One Piece. I've never been into the series up until a few weeks ago. And I can't help but think of Ren whenever I see Zoro. Like the similarities are hilarious. In design and characterization. Not fighting style or childhood of course.

Didn't he only kick it?

My best bet would be that he at least tore (or did a Kevin Nash for anyone who watches wrestling) his quad to shreds moving it unless he has some sick leg day at the gym we don't know about.

With the force of the weight going through the leg I'd expect some form of fracture, maybe not in the Femur but certainly in the lower leg. Though this was not implied by the fact his leg seemed to be pointing the right way and he said it would heal. We may see him again. Ren for sure. Joy and Wong.... maybe but not convinced.

Zhu.... that man has more information than he is letting on. We will see him again.

I would be so curious to see an extrovert girl like Joy interacting with a shy and serious girl like Shenhua! I'm sure there would be lot of funny moments.

We may see interactions between Ren and Shenhua which will also be really weird.

Yeah Jibby agreed that is actually going to be funny, I think Shenhua will try and set Ren straight, and you can just imagine the things he'll say especially when she goes blowing the seeds about the place again. :P

People doubt Yuanda Zhu's return? I'd say he's the one who's definitely returning.

I would have thought that characters such as Joy and Wong would have returned. At least that's the impression I got when we saw them for the last time in Shenmue 2. What would be the point of investing so much time in these characters for them to just disappear forever.
