If you're a fan of the Ghost in the Shell, then you may have noticed that CD Projekt Red included many references to the 1995 Sci-Fi animated movie, such as Judy's shoulder tattoo and phone avatar of a cartoonish ghost wisping out of a shell. Or maybe you spotted the uncanny resemblance between Lucy in Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Motoko Kusanagi, the main protagonist of Ghost in the Shell. The references of Ghost in the Shell in Cyberpunk 2077 are nothing more than references as Mike Pondsmith, creator of the Cyberpunk universe, created the first Cyberpunk TTRPG in 1988, while the Ghost in the Shell manga was released in 1991, and the animated film later in 1995. Moreover, Ghost in the Shell is set in Japan in 2029. Cyberpunk 2077 also features references to Bladerunner
