How does a Ghost in the Shell MMO grab you? We're not sure if it's a reality just yet, but we do know that Nexon has entered into a development agreement with manga publishing giant Kodansha to produce an online title based on Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX.

Nexon's press release offers no details on the game itself, so anything beyond the source material is guesswork at this point. The original Ghost in the Shell manga was met with critical and popular acclaim upon its 1989 release, and has since been adapted into an extensive expanded universe that includes films, television shows, and a 1997 PlayStation game. Nexon's new title "will be based on the award-winning series Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX, Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG, and Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society."

This looks interesting. Honestly I've never been a ghost in the shell fan, but it would certainly bring some neat concepts.

I view this with doubt and trepidation.

pls tachikomas

Sounds... interesting.


I just hope it doesn't go the way of Dragon Ball Online and disappoint everyone. I'm pretty positive that'll happen, though.

please no no no no no

Is that series even still on-going? :f6: Never really cared for it myself, so whatever.

So much of me really wants this to succeed. The rest of me is realllllly distraught.
