Thanks to this project, gamers will be able to feel like mercenaries and agents of the Public Security Section in Japan in 2027, where cybernetic bodies and false memories redefine the very concept of identity.

The release of such a tabletop game is expected in 2026. The Ghost in the Shell franchise has a fairly large fan base, so the main goal of the crowdfunding campaign will probably be achieved in one day (maybe even in a couple of minutes).
