andai today announced Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for the PSP. Based on the critically-acclaimed anime series by the renowned manga artist and writer Masamune Shirow, this sci-fi first-person shooter offers wireless multiplayer action for up to four-players, including heated cooperative and competitive modes.

“Cutting edge technology is one of the main themes in the Ghost in the Shell series,” said Rika Maruya, Co-Producer of Bandai Games Inc. “We naturally wanted to take advantage of the wireless capabilities of the PSP to truly immerse gamers into an edgy, futuristic world of hackers and cybernetic entities.’”

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex takes place in a futuristic world where crime knows no limits. Gamers can face off against cyber-criminals as members of Section 9, an elite group of secret intelligence operatives tasked to keep technological terrorists at bay. Players must use “Major” Motoko Kusanagi’s agility, her partner Batou’s strength, the rookie Togusa’s stealth, or Saito’s sniper skills to unravel the mysteries of Berutarube.  The game will also support wireless multiplayer battles, where gamers can test their luck against their friends.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is currently slated to ship this Summer.
