A
producer for Venezuela-based news outlet Telesur tweeted a video
showing clips from the 2013 game ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts' which
appear to foreshadow massive electricity blackouts which left
Venezuela’s capital city Caracas in almost total darkness in March.
In 2013, Call Of Duty featured Caracas as the
site of its war scene in Venezuela—a first-person shooter game
which also depicted the Guri Hydroelectric Dam. Part of the
"mission" is to install a virus in the electrical
system to generate a Blackout.pic.twitter.com/QJnC1ROMr4

In the
game, US special forces are seen on a “mission” to cause a
blackout by installing a virus onto a computer at the Guri
Hydroelectric Dam — the very same location where a major failure
caused the recent blackouts, which the Venezuelan government blamed
on the US.
The
game's creator said in 2014 that the Activision publishing company
brought in "outside help" to produce the game, including
"military advisers" and planners from the Department of
Defense.
