A new Ghost in the Shell (Koukaku Kidoutai) anime project is officially in development. The announcement was made during the Dover Street Market Ginza Open House event, where an initial visual for the project was unveiled. The new entry will be produced by the animation studio Science SARU. This project follows the November 2023 Japanese theatrical release of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 - The Last Human, a compilation film of the second season of the 3DCG series. While the franchise has historically featured various production houses—such as Production I.G, which produced the 26-episode series that aired in Winter 2014—this marks a shift in studio leadership for the long-running sci-fi property.
