It has been shown on Kotaku that a South Korean studio is working on a Ghost in the Shell game (trailer above). It appears unconfirmed if the game will be available outside of South Korea, but I would expect at least a Japanese/North American port would be well worth the effort for the studio. The game itself appears to be an online game, focusing on FPS-style combat with squad roles like combat, speed, stealth, support, etc.
I have some mixed feelings about this. Although a GitS game sounds fantastic, being a fan of the franchise, I don't think an FPS would do it any justice, since the franchise is based on not only the action, but well-imagined characters and a sophisticated story-line with philosophical themes. If this turns into a destiny-style shooting gallery, it wouldn't really focus on what made the mange/anime... stand alone (pun intended).
I hope to see more, and perhaps some more context as to what specifically the game will offer. Until then, I'll be on the edge of my seat and continuing to scour the net for info.
