For Ludens Who Dare: ASUS ROG and Kojima Productions Reveal the Ultimate Flow Z13 Collaboration
In the world of gaming hardware, there are "special editions," and then there are artifacts. Today, February 24, 2026, ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) officially opened the portal between high-end tech and visionary storytelling with the launch of the ROG Flow Z13-KJP.
Born from a collaboration with Kojima Productions and legendary artist Yoji Shinkawa, this isn't just a gaming tablet; it’s a tribute to the "Ludens"—those who play and create. If you’re a Canadian fan of Hideo Kojima’s "strand" genre or just a hardware enthusiast with a taste for the avant-garde, your next holy grail has arrived.
Visionary Design by Yoji Shinkawa
The Flow Z13-KJP is a masterclass in industrial design. Shinkawa, the artistic soul behind Metal Gear and Death Stranding, oversaw every detail of the CNC-milled aluminum chassis.
- The "Ludens" Aesthetic: Featuring bold angular cutouts, carbon fiber accents, and a custom typeface, the device feels like a piece of equipment pulled straight from the world of UCA.
- Premium Extras: The package includes a unique carrying case, a customized power adapter, and an exclusive "Armoury Crate" software theme to complete the immersion.
- Peripheral Suite: To round out the desk, ROG is also launching the Delta II-KJP headset, the Keris II Origin-KJP mouse (in a striking gold, grey, and white), and the massive Scabbard II XXL-KJP desk mat.
A Monster Under the Hood: 128GB of RAM?
Don't let the "tablet" form factor fool you. The Flow Z13-KJP is packing hardware that would make most desktop towers blush.
- The Processor: Driven by the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395, featuring 16 Zen 5 cores.
- Unified Memory: In a stunning move for portability, it features a massive 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM. Because it’s a unified architecture, the system dynamically allocates this pool between the CPU and the Radeon™ 8060S graphics, making it a beast for both 4K gaming and heavy local AI workloads.
- The Display: A 13.4-inch Nebula Display running at 2.5K resolution with a 180Hz refresh rate.
Canadian Pricing, Pre-orders, and the DS2 Bundle
For gamers in the Great White North, the pre-order window is officially LIVE today on the ASUS Store.
- MSRP: $4,999 CAD.
- Shipping Date: March 3, 2026.
- The "Big" Perk: Every Flow Z13-KJP comes bundled with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. While the game launches on consoles first, this bundle grants you the PC version on its official release day: March 19, 2026.
"I wanted to create a gadget that belongs to Ludens... parts and designs are inspired by Ludens and have its essence." — Yoji Shinkawa
