A “Call of Duty” installment depicting a full-scale North Korean invasion of South Korea is topping sales charts in the region. Sources report that the latest edition of the franchise, presented as a Modern Warfare title, is leading purchases in the would-be setting it portrays.
Both outlets link the game’s popularity to a broader context of heightened real-life tensions on the Korean peninsula. Taipei Times and Inquirer.net both emphasize that the game’s storyline places North Korea as the aggressor while acknowledging that border conditions are worsening in reality, even though the sales figures reflect consumer demand rather than events on the ground.
