Ghost in the Shell is an action-simulation game for PlayStation, released in 1997 based on Masamune Shirow's influential manga property. The game arrived years after the landmark 1995 film adaptation that established the franchise in Western consciousness.
Recent coverage has focused on the broader Ghost in the Shell universe rather than the game itself, particularly following the 2026 debut of a new anime series on Prime Video produced by Science Saru. The show's release has reignited longstanding debates within the fanbase about how different adaptations compare to one another and to Shirow's source material, with the community divided on whether the new series surpasses the 1995 film in quality or approach.
