Hideo Kojima’s Kojima Productions has partnered with Asus’s Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand to unveil a line of limited-edition gaming hardware inspired by the studio’s Ludens mascot, the companies said at CES 2026.
The collaboration includes the ROG Flow Z13-KJP gaming tablet alongside a matching lineup of peripherals: the ROG Keris II Origin-KJP mouse, ROG Delta II-KJP headset and ROG Scabbard II XXL-KJP mouse mat. The products carry the slogan “For Ludens Who Dare” and blend high-end gaming specifications with the visual identity associated with Kojima Productions.

Design work on the devices was led by Yoji Shinkawa, Kojima Productions’ lead artist and character designer, who is known for shaping the studio’s visual style. “I wanted to create a gadget that belongs to Ludens, and I integrated that into this PC design,” Shinkawa said. “Parts are inspired by Ludens and has its essence.”
At the center of the lineup is the ROG Flow Z13-KJP, a detachable 2-in-1 gaming tablet powered by AMD’s AI Max+ 395 “Strix Halo” processor. It features a 13.4-inch ROG Nebula display with 2.5K resolution and a 180 Hz refresh rate, as well as a detachable keyboard and a rugged carrying case that echoes the utilitarian aesthetic of Kojima’s Death Stranding franchise.
