When creating Cyber Ops (CO), we knew that, for a game to succeed, having excellent graphics and mechanics is not enough. We wanted the protagonists to feel somewhat real, with motivations and experiences that could drive their journey through the game.
We love the concept of Special Units. A group of soldiers, well trained and focused, usually under a competent command, trying to complete mission objectives against all odds. And there is no other unit more iconic for us than Section 9, from the GITS universe. But even this powerful elite group had to accept the politics and machinations coming from the Government. And usually, their human side was what made them as memorable as they were.
The members of the Geist Division have their own stories. All of them were part of the Liberation War against the NCE, a large nation looking to maintain its former geopolitical power. When your enemy is that powerful, you can expect the war to be brutal and merciless. The stories of the cast try to reflect on that. Sometimes, there are no “correct” choices. Sometimes, you have to do what you have to do.
