EXCLUSIVE! A special Steel Battalion message just for YOU!

ATTENTION MACHINIMA WARRIORS!

Mamoru Oshii, the legendary director of Ghost in the Shell, the masterpiece anime film released in 1995, has a very special message for you!

The creative visionary whose work has influenced some of the most influential movie-makers of the past thirty years was so taken by the story-telling both outside the the mechanized tanks of Steel Battalion, and within its metal confines, that he has crafted a live-action movie to introduce and showcase military life in this devastated world.

And, dear readers, he’s taken the time to speak to you directly about his motivations. So since he made the efforts, it’s damn rude to ignore the legend, so check out this Welcome video to the world of Steel Battalion, and then dive in and witness the full effect in the live-action short.

Especially for you, cos, well, you know…

And the live-action trailer for Capcom’s Steel Battalion
