Why Call of Duty in Korea could be ‘controversial’ | BBC News


The next Call of Duty game has been revealed, with much of the reaction focused on its campaign set around a fictional renewed conflict on the Korean Peninsula.

Modern Warfare 4, due out 23 October, partly follows South Korean soldiers battling a full-scale North Korean invasion.

Dr Sarah Son, Senior Lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of Sheffield, said the move "could be controversial" as it "turns still-unresolved war into entertainment". Some Koreans reacted more positively, with one calling Korea’s inclusion in one of gaming’s biggest franchises a "symbolic moment".

Developer Infinity Ward said the game will be "grounded in the military authenticity Modern Warfare is known for".
