Ever since the new Kojima Productions was formed, Hideo Kojima has been hinting that there's a greater mystery behind the independent studio's logo. And he's finally revealed it today, showcasing LUDENS – a sci-fi knight covered in bottle caps – which serves to illustrate the vision behind the veteran's fresh outfit.
"We'll deliver the new play in the new future with the cutting-edge equipment, technology, and the frontier spirit," he wrote on Twitter. The character even harbours a cheeky Metal Gear Solid reference. "The gear he's wearing is the extra-vehicular activity (EVA) creative suit." Never ever change, Kojima.
It has to be said that Push Square Towers is divided over the character's design. This author is #TeamRubbish, while Ramsey is #TeamCool. Where do your allegiances lie? Pick a side in the comments section below.

Can't say I hate it, but it's strangely uninspiring. But, whatever, lets see what they bring out.
Nope. #Teamcool for me. It looks like a mech pilot.
Let's see how hyped those same people are when they're still waiting for a release several years from now. Will this game even release on the PS4?
#teamcool
Space warrior using a.... Errr... Stick to fight with.
hopefully its zone of the enders or something similar ala gundam wing xd
I think I am on the side of #team-meh. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was 'rubbish' but its certainly not inspiring or 'cool' - at least not in this limited context.
The outline logo has more 'cool' about it but maybe with a bit more setting, Skeletor in a space suit could raise my interest
Also I wonder if "Extra Vehicular Creative Activity" is really a nod toward EVA of MGS.. It's got an extra word in it for starters. EVCA.
@kyleforrester87 I noticed that, but he specifically called it "EVA" in the tweet.
@get2sammyb Ah thought there must have been something else to it, ta
#TeamBottleCaps
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Meh. Unless Spartans spread like the Romans and never collapsed... future spartan martian soldier....
It's just...ok, I guess? I mean, with Kojima drawing all the hype he possibly could out of the logo, I was expecting slightly more, but let's just see where it goes from here
Another point for Team Rubbish, Meh, or Shrug. Call me when you have something.
Okay. Now work on the game.
man's sure having fun with his followers.... It took 3 news headlines to reveal a mascot based on company logo...
another #teamRubbish here, the armor kinda looks like a big angry bird :/ but then again, it's just a first sketch of whatever it will be in the future? So I suppose it would either improve at some point or will just look really cool in whatever setting his next game gonna be.
I think it looks cool. It's really hard to make a space suit with Spartan styled helmet look not-cool.
It looks like a spastic duck morphed with an 80's astronaut. At best.
I have no doubt his next game will be a metal gear solid style exclusive for PS4 or PS5 since he started pretty late in PS4's life. Naughty dog is only making one more game for PS4 and they would have started a while ago.
#teamrubbish for me...
unless, the knight removes her helmet and she's a woman! surprise!! If that happens then I'm changing to #teamcool.
Looks like something out of Warframe except not as cool.
#teamrubbish
its boring and uninspired space marine crap.
#TeamIndifferent
Well at least they finished the logo, it's more than you can say of MGSV.
Holy crap, It's an astronaut with a knight helmet. I'm sold.
#TeamCool
I'm surprised people dislike it, to be honest.
