Imperial War Museum London's new exhibition wants to challenge"perceptions of how video games interpret stories about war and conflict".
Entitled War Games: Real Conflicts | Virtual Worlds | Extreme Entertainment, the exhibition is running from now until May 2023 and seeks to"delve into one of today’s most popular storytelling mediums and ask how the reality of war is represented in the virtual world of a video game".
"Common gameplay tropes such as explosive barrels and sniper rifles feature next to collection items like facial prosthetics developed in the First World War. The exhibition also explores how video game technology can be used, and is used, to help shape real wars, presenting brand new acquisitions including an Xbox 360 controller once used to operate the camera of an unmanned aerial vehicle in Afghanistan and Iraq.
There will be"immersive installations, never-before-displayed objects and perspectives from industry experts" as well as the chance to see games like Sniper Elite 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, This War of Mine, and Bury Me, My Love, and explore how different developers have portrayed conflict., a"half day festival exploring the phenomenon of war video games" led by Brenda and John Romero and Jordan Erica Webber.
Sponsored by Rebellion, the festival also includes a retro game zone and a Games Jam in association with the Historical Games Network and the University of Glasgow's Games and Gaming Lab.We want to make Eurogamer better, and that means better for our readers - not for algorithms.
