The company says that at the heart of its new collaboration is "Ludens", the belief that humans aren't just thinkers, but players and creators. The new collaboration combines the spirit of the ROG motto with "For Those Who Dare with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS" vision From Sapiens to Ludens.

ASUS says that Ludens are the ones who experiment, mod, create, and challenge what games - and gaming hardware - can be. By uniting cutting-edge ROG hardware with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS visionary storytelling, this partnership is a tribute to that spirit: everything we build, every detail we design, is for gamers everywhere - For Ludens Who Dare.

Designed by the legendary artist Yoji Shinkawa, known for his unique art style, the Flow Z13-KJP was crafted to capture the spirit of this character, down to the angular cutouts on the CNC-milled aluminum chassis, the usage of carbon fiber, and a bold typeface.

Yoji Shinkawa explains: "I wanted to create a gadget that belongs to Ludens, and I integrated that into this PC design. Parts and designs are inspired by Ludens and have its essence".
