    Hideo Kojima recently took to Twitter to introduce LUDENS, the character behind Kojima Productions new logo.

    Kojima had a couple of things to say about LUDENS, with this tweet being the most interesting one:

    We’ll deliver THE NEW PLAY in THE NEW FUTURE with the cutting-edge equipment, technology, & the frontier spirit.

    While the tweet is quite vague in what exactly he means, it could be suggesting that LUDENS is directly related to their new project.

    Their new project is set to be developed for both the PS4 and PC.

      Okay, this looks way cool to be for “gamers that enjoy playing AAA releases like The Division and Uncharted”. What I’m trying to say is this: please don’t let this suck Kojima (I’d also prefer it it was a finished product this time).

      Undead space spartan, huh? The new play comment may imply that this could be a VR title.

      “Extra Vehicular Activity Creative Suit” sounds pretty fucking cool.

      what if kojima productions makes enough money to buy the mgs series from konami? then kojima productions could re-release the mgs collection for pc and make a pc port of 4 and actually finish mgs 5 to make it make more sense and actally add back all the cut content. then they can use the money they get from mgs to buy zone of the enders and make a pc port of the collection and actually make that cancelled zoe3 game.

      I’m actually hoping he does that for after what konami did to him. that’d be a GIGANTIC middle finger.

      To me looks like a Scooby Doo villain.

      Konami is just going to sit on the IP or churn out shovelware.
      Only way I could see something like that possible would be a parternship between the two companies, but right now thats highly unlikely.

      Seeing as how he’s not on the clock for Konami anymore, I’m sure he’ll be able to deliver a finished product.

      If Kojima wants to do the story justice, he could make a TOTALLY NEW game about an espionage operative with TOTALLY NEW characters that happen to look suspiciously similar to MGS characters.

      Really, at this point, the cool thing about the games are not the iconic characters so much as the creative elements put IN them.

      Haha, yeah. It definitely rings similar to the good old “Tactical Espionage Action” tagline.

      The only question remaining is: Cherry or Menthol?

      I actually hope VR isn’t involved although I can see Kojima wanting to explore that space.

      I just don’t want to have to invest in the hardware for LUDENS.

      Wasn’t Kojima sick of only doing MGS?

      Pretty nice he has the PC in mind with this new project.

      Game devs have every system in mind. He’d release the game on iOS if it could run it.

      Reminds me of the medical harnesses in fallout new vegas, old world blues was the best dlc.

      I have a feeling that this could be a third person shooter that also takes inspiration from Zone of the Enders.

      It actually says “Creative Activity” suit… which doesn’t make as nice an acronym.

      If its an “EVA” (Extra Vehicular Activity) then you can expect and ADAM

      The suit is too big for that to be his face, but it could also be, on a far fetched assumption, that that is his his face, and the suit is supposed to keep him alive beyond a normal human life expectancy for space exploration, hence the flag he carries with him.
