These factions claim to be working to restore the world to its pre-apocalyptic state but each continues to fail because they see the others as their enemies. Fallout 4 places players in a world that has been ravaged by nuclear war-similar to The Division, this post-apocalyptic world is chaotic and treacherous due to various factions at war with one another. The Division lets players feel this tension personally by giving them the option to attack other players and steal their resources. Tension in the game arises as the plague turns the city into a war zone as people selfishly vie for the city’s remaining resources. Tom Clancy’s The Division asks players to enter New York after a plague has ravaged the city.
There is, however, another meaning for the world apocalypse -it can also mean “the revelation of knowledge through profound disruption.” In this sense, post-apocalyptic games like Fallout 4 and The Division actually have much in common with Revelation. They let players explore worlds that have been radically changed by cataclysmic events (nuclear fallout, zombie outbreak, etc.) that have killed much of earth’s inhabitants and radically changed life for those who survived. They do not depict the literal end of the world. Most post-apocalyptic games are not truly apocalyptic in the biblical sense. While these apocalypses that are predicted in these games are far different from the Bible’s, apocalyptic games do get something right about the end of the world, something that can encourage your students as they seek to live for Christ. Your students are not only fascinated with post-apocalyptic films and TV shows, but many of them love to explore digital post-apocalyptic worlds in video games like Fallout 4 and Tom Clancy’s The Division. You know this because you hear them talking about The Walking Dead and Interstellar.
Your students are obsessed with the apocalypse.
