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.

May 17, 2016 at 3:56 pmOkay, 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).

May 17, 2016 at 3:58 pmUndead space spartan, huh? The new play comment may imply that this could be a VR title.

May 17, 2016 at 4:06 pmwhat 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.

May 17, 2016 at 4:10 pmNah, I bet Big Boss Pachinko is gonna make more money than this.
Master Bating
May 17, 2016 at 4:12 pmKonami 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.

May 17, 2016 at 4:13 pmSeeing as how he’s not on the clock for Konami anymore, I’m sure he’ll be able to deliver a finished product.

May 17, 2016 at 4:14 pmSpooky Astronaut Spartans? Really interested to see what this game will be about.

May 17, 2016 at 4:35 pmIf 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.

May 17, 2016 at 5:08 pmHaha, yeah. It definitely rings similar to the good old “Tactical Espionage Action” tagline.

May 17, 2016 at 5:12 pmI 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.

May 17, 2016 at 6:28 pmWasn’t Kojima sick of only doing MGS?

May 17, 2016 at 7:40 pmPretty nice he has the PC in mind with this new project.

May 17, 2016 at 8:52 pmGame devs have every system in mind. He’d release the game on iOS if it could run it.

May 18, 2016 at 12:56 amI have a feeling that this could be a third person shooter that also takes inspiration from Zone of the Enders.

May 18, 2016 at 2:41 amIt actually says “Creative Activity” suit… which doesn’t make as nice an acronym.

May 18, 2016 at 8:18 amoh, man, I wish its a mash of MGS and ZoE

May 18, 2016 at 11:48 amThe 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.
