| The UK’s first exhibition to explore what video games can tell us about conflict. | War Games: Real Conflicts | Virtual Worlds | Extreme Entertainment opens at IWM London on 30 September 2022.
The exhibition will delve into one of today’s most popular storytelling mediums and seek to challenge perceptions of how video games interpret stories about war and conflict.
It will feature 12 unique titles including Sniper Elite 5, recently released by lead exhibition sponsor Rebellion, which, over the last forty years, have reflected events from the First World War to the present.
Showcasing immersive installations, never-before-displayed objects and perspectives from industry experts, War Games will also include a playable retro gaming zone and a programme of supporting events.
