It looks like it’s officially going to be called the Evangelion e:Project, but we won’t know exactly just how far this campaign will go until MSI releases more information.
From the short snippets though, it looks like we’ll be getting at least a PC case, with details such as an illustration of the iconic mecha on the side as well as various NERV logos along the body of the case. We’re personally big fans of what appears to be the start button for said PC, which has the words Evangelion 01 printed on it.
It’s no surprise MSI would decide to have a collaboration with Neon Genesis Evangelion – the series has long enjoyed popularity, with multiple life-sized statues of Unit 01 across Japan and a host of brand collaborations as well as a seasonal ride at Universal Studios Japan.
The final movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series, titled 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time released globally last year, with the title being the highest grossing film in Japan for 2021.
