Written by

The Lv.80 Adventure Chapter [Hymn of Redemption] and brand-new gear are now available! [Doradoween] Halloween event launching on October 28!

Crystal of Atlan, the magicpunk combo action RPG developed by Nuverse, will officially launch its collaboration with the TV anime Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, alongside the simultaneous release of the new Lv.80 level cap, the Adventure Chapter [Hymn of Redemption], and new gear. In celebration of the Halloween season, the festive event [Doradoween] will also make its return.

The Crystal of Atlan x Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. collaboration is here!

Ghost in the Shell originated from the manga THE GHOST IN THE SHELL, first published in 1989 by Japanese manga artist Masamune Shirow. Through its exploration of cybernetics, prosthetic technology, and the question of what it means to be human, it built an iconic near-future sci-fi world. This collaboration with Crystal of Atlan centers on the 2002 TV anime Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX. Set in the year 2030, as the information network expands and societal crimes grow increasingly complex, Public Security Section 9—an independent unit under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, commonly known as “Ghost in the Shell”—conducts investigation operations that reveal both the light and dark sides of networked society, as well as the blurred boundary between humans and machines.

In this collaboration, Section 9 has detected an unidentified anomalous signal within Atlan. At the source of the signal, a special warzone resembling Section 9’s tactical style has emerged. The world of advanced cybernetics and prosthetic technology converges here with Atlan, where magic and technology intertwine. Section 9’s tactical philosophy is projected into the collaboration dungeon, [Simulated Warzone].

During the collaboration, adventurers can participate in the collaboration dungeon [Simulated Warzone], the collection event [Memory Dive] based around gathering intel and clues, and the [Tactical Protocol] progression system. Participate to earn items like [Neurochips] to unlock collaboration rewards over time.

Pilot the Tachikoma and take on the Simulated Warzone

[Simulated Warzone] is a 4-player minigame where each adventurer pilots their own Tachikoma. Adventurers can shoot other adventurers or enemies on the field to collect [Ultra Cogs] and upgrade their Tachikoma. If you’re defeated by another adventurer, you will drop a portion of your held [Ultra Cogs]. Earn [Prime Prosthetics] and [Neurochips] and unlock the corresponding rewards based on your final ranking!

Unlock intel and light up your Memory Dive

During the event, adventurers can spend SP to obtain [Cyber Cores], which are used to advance clue unlock progress. As clues are gradually unlocked, adventurers can claim rewards for each corresponding stage. Through battle and collection, adventurers will gradually uncover the memories hidden behind the clues.

Limited-time collaboration pets and mounts!

During the collaboration, Motoko Kusanagi will appear in pet form. The Think Tank Tachikoma will join the game as a collaboration mount, offering 5 different paint options for adventurers to customize its appearance.

Additionally, adventurers can use [Neurochips] to increase their [Tactical Protocol] level and earn generous collaboration rewards.
