Game developer Hideo Kojima is partnering with Asus for a new, branded line of ASUS ROG PC gear. Well, Kojima himself isn't directly partnering with Asus. His studio, Kojima Productions, is partnering with Asus. Also, the gear from Asus won't feature Kojima's face but will instead incorporate the "Ludens" design that Kojima Productions is kind of known for (the skeleton man in the space suit).
At CES 2026, the collaboration between Asus and Kojima Productions was on full display. This collaboration will feature a unique white, black, and gold accent color scheme along with artwork from Kojima Productions' lead artist, Yoji Shinkawa. The items also put a spin on the ROG motto of "For Those Who Dare" with the Kojima Productions ethos of "From Sapiens to Ludens," making the unique motto of "For Ludens Who Dare."
“I wanted to create a gadget that belongs to Ludens and I integrated that into this PC design,” said Yoji Shinkawa. “Parts and designs are inspired by Ludens and has its essence.” Every detail — from the custom carrying case, power adapter, packaging, and even an exclusive Armoury Crate theme — reflects KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS’ signature style.
No prices for any of the items was provided by Asus, but don't expect any of it to come cheap. Undoubtedly, the most expensive item of the bunch will be the ROG Flow Z13. This is a hybrid laptop and tablet powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor and Radeon 8060S graphics. This includes 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 40RDNA 3.5 GPU compute units, and a unified 128GB memory architecture. There is also a 50 TOPS of NPU for those who care about local AI work.
Full specs on the Flow can be found below. The non-Kojima Productions versijon of the Flow retails for about $2,100. That should give you an absolute baseline on how much you can probably expect the Ludens version to go for.
