After several teases, Hideo Kojima finally unveiled his studio’s icon, Ludens, last week.

As for his first game under the Ludens icon, we’re still waiting to hear some details. However, Kojima has revealed that the project will be built upon a third-party engine (not yet disclosed) since he wants to get the game out sooner rather than later.
