You may be unaware that The Simpsons, an American animated sitcom, predicted a few scenarios that came true. I’m about to tell you about a few games that accurately predicted some future events (Amazing Games that Predict Future), and you’ll be shocked by them.
1) Ghost Recon
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon is a popular game series and it was released in 2001 for the first time. The story of the game centers on the European countries of Russia and Georgia. The game shows that Russia is eager to re-establish the Soviet Union once again. It wants to take control of these countries. When a Russian nationalist wants to rebuild the Soviet Union, this happens. Though the game was released in 2001, the story is set in 2008, and here comes the prediction. You will not believe that the war between Russia and Georgia took place in 2008, let alone between Russia and Georgia. Many other games by Tom Clancy have covered politics and military strategy but the prediction of this game is more accurate (5 Amazing Games that Predict Future).

2) Metal Gear 2
Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake was an action-adventure stealth game with top-down views. It was released in 1990. In the story event, the time of 1999 is shown, indicating how the cold war lasted until the 20th century. In the plot, the oil crisis plays a significant role. Diminished petrol deposits mean alternate resources are being sought. The in-game scientist, Dr. Kio Marv from the Czech Republic, has developed a new species of engineers called OILIX who can replace petrol efficiently with relatively little expense and effort.
There is a main protagonist named Solid Snake and the story focuses on how he tries to save Dr. Kio Marv. In the 2000s, the concept of Oilix did not yet exist. No one had even considered the idea of replacing petrol with an unnatural element, algae until 2012. A company named Terravia from California, US started delivering algae-based fuel and gradually it became available internationally. Since algae-based fuel is rarely used today, this prediction was excellent considering they did not even discover it themselves (Top 5 Amazing Games that Predict Future).

3) Homefront
Homefront is a 1st person shooter game (Games that Predict Future) that was released in 2011. North and South Korea have merged into Greater Korea, and they have become a superpower. The game shows how Greater Korea attacks the United States of America and Homefront predicted North Korean leader Kim Jong Il’s death by 2011 and his son Kim Jong-un will become the next successor and will rule North Korea. It also shows that Kim Jong UN’s efforts have made Korea the Greater Korean Republic. Though the story is set in 2027, it’s been said in the game that by 2022, the financial system of the USA will collapse. In the same year, Asian Birds Blue will also be released. Despite only one prediction of this game coming true, the accuracy is quite remarkable.

4) Battlefield 3
You must have heard about the Battlefield series. Battlefield 3 of this series was quite popular and the reviews were positive too. It was released in 2011 but the game’s story is set in 2014. Many terrorist attacks from all over the world were shown in the game. Though the starting point of the game is Iraq as I told you there are many terrorist attacks in other places of the world, hence our in-game player visits major cities like Paris and New York.
In the climax, the player has to stop a few terrorists in Paris from performing a bomb blast, and here comes the main prediction, after one year of this story in 2015, there was a suicide bombing in Paris but the strangest thing is, the date of the bombing in the game was 13th November 2014 and the actual attack happened exactly after one year on 13th November 2015, these coincidences are just unbelievable (Top 5 Games that Predict Future).

5) The Simpsons
We saw The Simpsons and the series showed Donald Trump as president of the USA. That too way before he became the actual president but Deus Ex-Human Revolution also had a similar prediction and interestingly that prediction also came true. For those who are unaware, Justin Trudeau is the name of the Canadian Prime Minister in this game. The game was released in 2011 and Justin Trudeau became Canadian Prime Minister in 2015. This is an amazing prediction. In the game, Mr. Trudeau is PM until 2027, so it will be interesting to see whether he remains in that role or not.
