Abstract:
The \u201cnew\u201d Great Game suggests that, like the imperial competition of the past, we are witnessing a trans-imperial moment whereby Japan and China are vying for hegemony in East Asia. This is a new moment because East Asia, unlike Europe, has never had two co-existing superpowers. The prospect of a new imperial competition is complicated by the still-present American military power and the non-statist arena, especially in popular culture, where the imperial games are played out. Using two popular anti-Japan video games, Glorious Mission Online<\/em> (2013) and The Invisible Guardian<\/em> (2019) as case studies, I argue these games are symptomatic of the relations between warfare and game in general. I then outline the trend in game development that subverts conventional war games. Finally, I speculate on alternative game design over the disputed territories in the Southern China Sea that prioritize ecology over human conflict and development. <\/p>\n\n\n
