Ghost in the shell it remains one of the most revolutionary and popular franchises in the anime industry, and the original 1995 film is still considered one of the best anime films ever made.
This franchise has continued to expand over the years telling all kinds of wild and new stories, and another Ghost in the Shell anime project has been announced for 2026 titled The ghost in the shell.
It was also revealed that Production IG, the company behind the franchise, will be joined by Bandai Namco Filmworks, Kodansha and Science SARU to develop and produce the project.
The latter studio, Science SARU, has been in the news recently as Toho recently acquired the production company and has a major anime rumor coming later this year in Dandadan.
There are no details regarding the story, but here’s how publisher Kodansha describes it Ghost in the shell: “Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been inexorably blurred as humans rely on augmented mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue.
“In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg super-agent Major Motoko Kusanagi is tasked with tracking down the most cunning and dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including ‘ghost hackers’ who are capable of exploiting the human/machine interface and reprogram humans to become puppets to carry out hackers’ criminal ends.
“When Major Kusanagi follows the cyber trail of one of these master hackers, the Puppeteer, her search leads her to a world beyond information and technology, where the very nature of consciousness and the human soul are turned upside down.”
