With billions of streams across platforms like YouTube and Spotify, Walker has also become a prominent figure in the gaming industry, contributing his musical talents to titles like PUBG Mobile and Death Stranding. His unique style and connection to gaming make him an ideal partner for ROG, embodying the brand’s commitment to innovation and pushing creative boundaries.

A Design Collaboration Reflecting Walker’s Signature Style

The ROG Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Special Edition boasts a highly personalized aesthetic, co-designed by Walker himself. The laptop incorporates distinctive color accents, including a bespoke Spectre Blue AniMe Matrix™ LED display. This customizable LED array allows for unique animations and personalized messaging, reflecting Walker’s distinctive visual identity.

The laptop’s logo features a similar color scheme, combining the Alan Walker logo and his signature alongside the iconic ROG branding. This logo is crafted using physical vapor deposition (PVD), creating a dynamic reflective effect that shifts with different viewing angles. Two fabric belts along the lid showcase ROG’s signature cyberpunk aesthetic, one of which features a reflective effect that interacts with the AniMe Matrix™ lighting.

More Than Just a Laptop: The ROG Remix Experience

The packaging itself, crafted from acrylic and featuring a sleek design, is a testament to Walker’s attention to detail.

The packaging transforms into the ROG Remix, a unique DJ controller, when connected to the Zephyrus G14 via USB Type-C. The ROG Remix features 18 Alan Walker-specific sound effects triggered by touch-sensitive pads. Users can experiment with Walker’s music or import their own tunes into the custom software developed by Walker and his team.
