Hideo Kojima may not have revealed anything about his latest games, but he finally revealed the full mascot of Kojima Productions on Twitter. Turns out that his new gaming company’s logo...
...Is only the cranial view of a complete, fully-rendered character mascot named Ludens.

The gear he's wearing is the extra-vehicular activity(EVA) creative suit. pic.twitter.com/iHb5JjFK77
The extra-vehicular activity suit is a type of suit that astronauts use to survive in the vacuum of space, outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.
In a statement to GameSpot, Kojima Productions producer Kenichiro Imaizumi said, “It’s not an image of the game we are working on.”
Kojima has already spoken on the upcoming game, which he describes as a triple-A action title. "It's an amazing game," he said . "While not to say that it's open-world, users who enjoy today's AAA games (The Division and Uncharted, etc) will be able to easily enjoy it. When it is announced, you might think, 'That's not outstanding,' but you'll understand when you see it and play it. The genre is action."
The game is being created in partnership with Sony as a PS4 exclusive . Might Ludens appear as an easter egg, or does the robo-man mascot’s hi-tech, detailed model express the goals of Kojima Productions? One thing’s for certain - Kojima’s got great hopes for his new company’s first project .
