The US Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, at a press conference on Friday morning, revealed that the recent investigation into the assassination of American Conservative Charlie Kirk had led to an unexpected lead – linking it to Sony’s hot-scission-sci-fi game “Hell 2”.
The investigators found that the bullet casings left on the scene contained symbols that corresponded to the military strategic deployments of the Hell 2 military. Moreover, the investigators inferred from the suspect ‘ s interview record on Discord that he might have personally carved the symbols on the bullet before the murder.
According to the information received, on Thursday, one of the unfired bullets seized by the Utah police in a forest near the school district of the crime was carved with the words “Hey, fascists!
There’s one more sentence on the shell case.
For most people, the symbol may be meaningless, but players familiar with “Hellguard 2” can recognize it at first sight, which is the strategic deployment directive calling for “500 kg of ammunition bombing” in the game, and the player can call for aerial bombardment only through a keyboard or handle input.
The suspect, Taylor Robinson, has recently been arrested on suspicion of murder and it is not clear whether he intends to create a link to the game by imprinting, and the link between the symbol ” Hell 2 ” and the motive for the crime is still under investigation.
The Hellsguard II, developed by the Arrowhead studio and released by Sony, has quickly surpassed the PS5/PC platform by 1 million since the beginning of last year, making it one of the most popular games in recent years. The game is based on the Space Marines ‘ resistance to external threats, and the style follows the Star Rivers ‘ anti-polarism.
As the exclusive game of the PS5 platform, The Hells 2 landed on the Xbox Series X/S platform last month and remains one of the most popular games of the PC and the host platform, with its continuously updated narratives and active player communities key to its survival. Players team up on random planets, do small missions, fight against alien tides.
When the incident came to light, a large number of players came to the discord community of ” Hellsguard 2 ” to express their shock and anger and to engage in a heated discussion about whether the Arrowhead studio should issue a statement on the incident. Currently, the suspect’s name has been banned from the Discord server and discussions will be automatically blocked and filtered.
At the Subreddit Forum, which has over 1.5 million members, players are also trying to digest this message. Some of the players tanned a year ago with a tattoo of the “tip” lamented: “This is embarrassing, to be honest, it will not be possible to show it in the future.” “Don’t let extremists take what belongs to us,” another player replied.
With the fermentation of the fermentation, the largest r/Heldivers section of Reddit ‘ s Hell 2 has been temporarily blocked. “We decided to block this section for the time being, in view of the large number of relevant provisions that deal with prohibited topics in this section. The team condemned all acts of violence, but communities should be able to overcome their differences through mutual understanding.”
American politicians have long tried to link gun violence to video games, including President Trump. Earlier this week, the Minister of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also indicated that his department was studying whether there was a link between the game and the increase in school shootings. However, while the prevalence of video games does not differ significantly, the number of shootings in United States schools is far higher than in other countries.
It is worth mentioning that a senior developer of the Suncher Punch studio, the world RPG developer under Sony’s banner, was officially dismissed by Sony recently for being shot and killed on social platforms by a conservative American, Charlie Kirk.
