In 2113 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs disbanded its covert paramilitary unit, the Peacebreakers. Yet the squad vanished and their deeds stayed shrouded in mystery. Five years later they reemerge by killing Milcia Stronskaya, a scientist who possessed highly classified documents crucial to the future of the Sybil System—Japan"s surveillance network that flags potential criminals.
To probe the murder and prepare for a confrontation with the Peacebreakers in coordination with the MFA, the Public Safety Bureau chief brings back former Enforcer Shinya Kougami. Having defected years before, Kougami now works for the MFA under Frederica Hanashiro"s command. His return sparks tension with former colleagues Akane Tsunemori and Nobuchika Ginoza, but they must set aside old grudges to safeguard the Sybil System in the rapidly evolving cybernetic landscape, ensuring its integrity remains paramount.
