On the 28th July 2026, big news dropped into my inbox from Mantic Games that they had launched their new crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit. From the creators of Worms the Board game and Halo: Flashpoint now comes The Ghost in the Shell: Tabletop roleplaying game. So, what is being said?
“Mantic Games is proud to bring you The Ghost in the Shell: Tabletop Roleplaying Game, the officially licensed game set in the world of the pioneering cyberpunk manga by legendary artist Shirow Masamune, published by Kodansha Ltd.
The Ghost in the Shell: Tabletop Roleplaying Game brings the franchise’s iconic blend of cybernetics, espionage, and existential mystery to life as you and your friends play the part of trainee agents for Section 9. Featuring a sophisticated bespoke design by highly respected creators, legendary games designer Alessio Cavatore and award-winning TTRPG writer Zak Barouh.
As well as this The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop TRPG, we're also incredibly excited to share this Limited Edition Art Print by Shirow Masamune, creator of The Ghost in the Shell, and yes, that is our dice in the artwork!”
The artwork is absolutely captivating and really catches the eye from the off. Clearly, this is a well known franchise already as it has already had a monstrous backing, with the pledge goal being well and truly smashed. Fans of the franchise still have 2 more weeks to back at the time of writing.
The link to the backing page has so much content within it that I could not possibly do it justice in this short feature. Definitely take a look at all the campaign has to offer. What I do know from having backed Mantic products before is that backers can expect a high quality product delivered as I was ever so impressed with the offer.
Well done Mantic on smashing this campaign already and good luck with the production.
