Mantic Games has announced a new Ghost in the Shell TTRPG, based solely off of the acclaimed manga. Mantic Games has announced that they plan to publish the TTRPG in 2026. The game uses a bespoke design created by Alessio Cavatore and Zak Barouh. Per the press release announcing the RPG, "[t]his immersive RPG combines fast-paced, narrative-driven mechanics with the philosophical depth and visual flair that define The Ghost in the Shell." The RPG will feature illustrations from the manga.
Interestingly, this is the second TTRPG based on Ghost in the Shell due this year. Mana Project Studio raised over $500,000 on Kickstarter to produce Ghost in the Shell Arise TTRPG, a TTRPG based on the Ghost in the Shell anime. That game is due out in fall 2026.
Ghost in the Shell is a cyberpunk sci-fi TTRPG that features a group of cybernetically enhanced police in Section 9 solving various crimes, most of which has some kind of technological bent. The manga and anime adaptations have inspired everything from The Matrix series of movies to Cyberpunk 2077.
