In a statement on Tuesday, the police force’s National Security Department said Reversed Front: Bonfire – a mobile game by Taiwanese developers ESC Taiwan – promotes succesionist agendas, advocates “armed revolution” and the overthrow of the “fundamental system of the People’s Republic of China.”
The game “also has an intention to provoke hatred towards the Central Authorities and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region,” police said.
Anyone who publishes related content, including sharing the game online, may be accused of inciting secession and inciting subversion, both offences under the Beijing-imposed national security law.
Doing so may also violate the city’s homegrown national security law, also known as Article 23, which criminalises “offences in connection with seditious intention.”
According to the description on the gaming platform Steam, Reversed Front walks players through a war against the communist regime. Players can assume different roles, such as Hong Kong, Tibet, Taiwan, the Uyghurs, and Mongolia.
