Kojima Meets NASA – A Timepiece That’s Out of This World
Hideo Kojima’s next surprise isn’t a blockbuster game, but a watch that’s going to have both his fans and space buffs nodding in agreement. Anicorn, the watch‑making craftsperson, dropped Space Ludens, a stylish handheld that stitches together the playful DNA of Kojima Productions with the iconic NASA emblem.
Why It’s a Hit
- Design mash‑up: The watch’s logo is a cheeky remix of Kojima’s mascot and NASA’s own insignia, so it looks like a rocket that’s never left a studio floor.
- Extra‑Vehicular flair: Think of the studio’s famed “creative activity suit” – the technology‑saturated gear – echoed in brass dials and titanium casings.
- Fun‑in‑unknown promise: Anicorn’s tweet said, “Bringing fun into the unknown universe” – perfect for a watch that’s meant to stand by you on board or on the ground.
- Big‑leap launch: It’s hitting the market on Sept 27, so you can “rep” your love for Kojima the moment it becomes available.
In the Tweet Soup
Expanding on the partnership, Anicorn teased in a tweet, “Our Space Ludens was inspired by Ludens to proclaim creativity, imagination, and the play element in culture.” The post was a tidy reminder that this isn’t just a luxury watch – it’s a celebration of the intersection between art and science.
What’s Next?
More details are on the way, and if you’re a fan of the studio, head counting down to the launch might feel like an interstellar countdown. And somewhere in the game world, we’re still waiting to see how Elle Fanning and Kojima’s next project will play out – probably a surprise, just as the watch has been.
And There’s More
Parallel to this, Kojima Productions recently announced a new division that’s diving into film, TV, and music. So be ready – they’re diversifying faster than a spaceship on launch day.
