Crystal of Atlan Ghost in the Shell Collaboration Brings Tachikoma Battles and Level 80 Expansion

Crystal of Atlan has received fresh coverage of its collaboration with Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, which originally began on October 28. The November 3 report highlights a substantial crossover combining familiar science-fiction characters with the fantasy action RPG's existing combat systems. The collaboration introduces Public Security Section 9 into the game's world through a storyline involving an unidentified signal and a special combat zone.

Players can participate in a four-person activity called Simulated Warzone, where each participant controls a Tachikoma. These distinctive mechanical vehicles can be improved by collecting Ultra Cogs during battle. Defeated participants lose some of their collected resources, introducing additional competitive pressure. Rewards include special materials used to obtain collaboration items. Other activities include Memory Dive and Tactical Protocol, which provide additional opportunities to unlock rewards.

Collectible crossover content includes Motoko Kusanagi as a companion and a Tachikoma mount with several colour options. Beyond the collaboration, the accompanying update raises the level cap to 80 and introduces a new adventure chapter titled Hymn of Redemption. Players can also explore the Frozen Sanctuary environment and obtain additional equipment. The Halloween-themed Doradoween event continues until November 18.

Crystal of Atlan is available across mobile, PC and console platforms, making the collaboration relevant to a broad audience. Apparently the natural solution to a fantasy world's problems is to introduce heavily armed cybernetic machinery and hope the local monsters adapt quickly.
