AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
An exclusive trailer for Made in Korea reveals a gritty 1970s crime thriller centered on a double agent working for the KCIA and running an international drug operation.
Period dramas and gritty crime thrillers have long found a comfortable home in interactive entertainment, but a new project is taking players on a distinct historical detour. IGN South Africa recently debuted an exclusive trailer for Made in Korea, offering a sharp look at a narrative set against the turbulent backdrop of the 1970s. The premise centers on Kitae, a complicated protagonist leading a very dangerous double life as both an agent for the Korea Central Intelligence Agency and an international drug dealer.
For a modern audience that regularly dissects complex moral choices in narrative heavyweights, a protagonist straddling the line between state security and illicit enterprise is fertile ground for storytelling. The setting alone sets it apart from the usual sci-fi and contemporary military backdrops dominating current release schedules, bringing a distinct aesthetic and historical weight to the screen. It is the kind of premise that relies heavily on sharp writing and atmospheric world building to keep players hooked from the opening cinematic to the final credits.
As anticipation builds for more gameplay reveals and release details, stories like this highlight the industry's ongoing appetite for grounded, high stakes narratives. You can check out the exclusive trailer over at IGN South Africa to get a firsthand look at the gritty 1970s underworld Kitae calls home. Keep it locked here as we follow how this intriguing period piece shapes up ahead of its eventual launch.
