5 Video Games That Take Place in an Alternate 2021

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X 

Recommended Videos

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X, originally released in 2009 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, may start off in 2014, but most of the game actually takes place in 2021.

Six years after the Air Force deactivated the H.A.W.X program, Major David Crenshaw –our lovable protagonist– is now working for Artemis, a private military company who has just signed a lucrative deal with Brazil.

Following a series of unfortunate and overly complicated events, Artemis ends up at war with the U.S, forcing Crenshaw to betray the company and rejoin the U.S Airforce to defend his country. 

Now, this one isn’t exactly out of the realm of possibility as all aspects of the plot, characters, and world are based in reality, but considering the fact that the U.S isn’t at war with a private military company right now, we’ll say this one is pretty different from the real 2021.
