ASUS ROG and Kojima Productions Unveil Collaborative Gaming Tablet with Distinctive Aesthetic

Kojima Productions has expanded beyond game development with the ROG Flow Z13KJP. Announced on January 6, 2026, this gaming tablet is the result of a partnership between Kojima Productions and ASUS ROG. The collaboration extends to a new line of KJP peripherals. Designed by Yoji Shinkawa, known for his work on Metal Gear and Death Stranding, the ROG Flow Z13 Kojima Productions Edition features a distinctive aesthetic inspired by the studio’s signature artistic style. The device features illustrations and details referencing Kojima Productions, including a white case reminiscent of cargo from Death Stranding. The tablet delivers high performance, equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI Max 395 processor, Radeon 8060S Graphics, and a 50 TOPS NPU. It boasts a 13.4-inch screen with 2.5K resolution and a 180 Hz refresh rate, along with a new-generation AMD Ryzen processor and integrated graphics suited for demanding games. The 2-in-1 format allows use as either a tablet or laptop, enhanced by its included keyboard. The collaboration also includes a headset, mouse, and mouse pad, all featuring the same visual style consistent with the Kojima Productions aesthetic. Pricing information is not yet available, but the release is expected in the first half of 2026.
