Asus is no stranger to odd yet badass limited editions of its one-of-a-kind gaming tablet, and for CES 2026 it’s collaborating with Kojima Productions on the best-looking one yet. The Asus ROG Flow Z13 x Kojima Productions edition takes last year’s excellent AMD Strix Halo-equipped gaming tablet and dresses it up in a Yoji Shinkawa design, complete with a two-tone metallic gold and black color combo and carbon fiber rear panel cover.
The tablet and its kickstand are decked out in angular geometric lines reminiscent of the gritty mechanized future tech seen in the Death Stranding games, as well as the design language of Kojima Productions mascot Ludens. It’s also got military tech-style warnings and mottos printed on it, ranging from “Heat vent do not cover” to “For Ludens who dare” — a play on the ROG motto, “For those who dare.”
The KJP edition includes a white attache hard case, and there’s also a matching white headset, mouse, and desk mat sold separately (or bundled in some countries). The ROG Flow Z13-KJP will launch in mid-to-late Q1 2026. There isn’t a price yet, but that should be finalized closer to availability. Asus reps tell me that exclusive variants are being made for the Kojima Productions team, which will feature a special keyboard with metallic keycaps.
I didn’t touch either Death Stranding game, but part of me wants this tablet. I loved the ROG Flow Z13 when I reviewed it last year, and seeing Yoji Shinkawa’s iconic style all over it puts a giant exclamation point over my head.
