Remember the Ghost in the Shell Online game coming from Korean publisher Nexon? It turns out it’s getting released in the US first after all.
Nexon acquired the license to make games based on the Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex universe, and hired fellow Korean developer Neople to make the game. It was Neople’s general producer In Lee who revealed that 1st tests are taking place in South Korea, but only as a prelude to a global launch. Prior to this, observers assumed the game would go to Korea first, and then Japan.
Neople’s developers also spoke at length about the care they took in recreating SAC’s world. They go out of their way to call the project a source of pride.
Points Neople are paying special attention to include destruction physics, and the sounds of gunshots. Neople went all the way out to the Nevada desert to best capture those sounds.
