Let’s hope we can change course before the 2019 seen in these trailers becomes a reality. While we may not live to see any of EA’s grim prophecies come to pass, it’s thrilling to see video games-so long maligned as a lesser form of art-finally producing these kinds of fully-realized, bone-chilling warnings about things to come. Power constantly tells the powerless that end results don’t matter it was really about “the moments that got you there.” That’s a convenient philosophy when the end result is brain damage, which is why it’s traditionally dressed up with Will to Power stuff like “defining the moment.” Judging from the trailer, Madden NFL 19 has a shrewd grasp of the language of totalitarianism, making its harrowing version of 2019 the most plausible of all. Williams-Omar from The Wire-delivers the voiceover, and the metatextual link hammers home Madden NFL 19’s bleak description of a different game no one can win. Similarly, the trailer’s Sisyphean description of life in the future is helped along by a smart bit of casting. The text is at war with itself-is the “you” at the beginning playing the CTE game, or is it played by the “they” who ominously appear in the last sentence?-and in this way, it formally mirrors the societal disintegration we see on screen. As in The Death of Stalin and other works about incompetent dystopias, the laughter curdles as soon as the “squad” shows up. NBA Live 19 also seems to have the sense of humor The Handmaid’s Tale lacks: The trailer includes simulated cell-phone camera footage-universal surveillance will presumably be a plot element-but it’s shot vertically, and in the background you can hear someone yell, “Don’t film it like that!” at the hapless cameraman.

While the trailer doesn’t spend too much time on the judicial system of 2019, the shots of “Oracle Arena,” “Toyota Center,” and “Wells Fargo Center” makes it clear that in the game’s vision of the future, corporations own the courts. Madden NFL (known as John Madden Football until 1993) is an American football sports video game series developed by EA Tiburon for EA Sports. The concept of a “squad” coming to get people who are “ballin’ ” is too obvious a Handmaid’s Tale lift to animate an entire game, but the grids of perfectly-rendered shoes show that EA Sports has added a flashy satire of consumerism to Gilead’s understocked stores.
Businesses shut down, entrepreneurs gathered together and shipped to islands for “crossover” reeducation: These things might seem absurd now, but they could be commonplace by 2019.
