Nuverse pushed a Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX collaboration into Crystal of Atlan on October 28.

Why it matters
The update leans on the 2002 TV anime's imagery rather than its plot, turning Section 9's lead and its thinking tanks into a pet and a mount inside a magicpunk MMO, which is the shape licensed crossovers now take for live free-to-play games hunting new players.
Key Facts
- Nuverse released the Ghost in the Shell: SAC collaboration for Crystal of Atlan on October 28.
- Motoko Kusanagi appears as a collaboration pet whose Barrier Break skill applies Control Deprivation for 10 seconds.
- The Tachikoma collaboration mount can switch among five paint types and fire a wire hook.
- Mimic Battlefield is a four-player dungeon where each player controls a Tachikoma and collects Extreme Gear.
- Crystal of Atlan is available on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows, plus PS5, iOS and Android, with cross-platform support.
The free-to-play action RPG now carries a Motoko Kusanagi pet whose Barrier Break skill applies Control Deprivation for 10 seconds, a Tachikoma mount with swappable paint, and a four-player dungeon called Mimic Battlefield where players drive Tachikoma and collect Extreme Gear.
The collaboration runs on the October 28 update and covers PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows, plus PS5, iOS and Android, with cross-platform support. Motoko Kusanagi arrives as a pet: her active skill hacks a target's cyberbrain, applies Control Deprivation for 10 seconds, then locks onto weak points and fires. Data gathered that way feeds Field Sync, which passes a damage boost to allies.
The Tachikoma mount switches among five paint types and can fire a wire hook to leap at targets or slide along the ground. In the Mimic Battlefield dungeon, four players each control a Tachikoma, attack other players and monsters to collect Extreme Gear, and level up; final rankings pay out Neuro Chips and Superior Prosthetics, which unlock items such as the SS-Class Footprint Ghost's Afterimage.
