To celebrate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Activision flew over 70 content creators from across APAC into Seoul for a three-day experience built entirely around the game’s Korean setting. Instead of a studio tour, creators got the real thing — culture, history, and geography woven straight into the Modern Warfare 4 universe — before capping it off with the global #CODNext livestream and early hands-on time with the Beta.

Why Seoul, Why Now
Modern Warfare 4 leans heavily into Korean locations and factions this time around, so instead of just talking about it, the team decided to show it. Creators didn’t just play the game — they walked through the world that inspired it.
Modern Warfare 4: The Trip at a Glance
| Highlight | What Happened |
|---|---|
| Creator Turnout | 70+ APAC creators, including 27 from ANZ and SEA |
| Cultural Immersion | Visits to landmarks including the DMZ, connecting real history to the game’s fiction |
| #CODNext Experience | A Korean PC Bang hosted the global livestream watch party |
| Beta Access | Creators got hands-on with Modern Warfare 4 ahead of the public Beta |
More Than a Marketing Trip
Standing at the DMZ hits differently when you know the game’s story draws from real geopolitical tension in the region. That’s the point — Activision wanted creators to feel the setting, not just narrate it. By the time everyone gathered at the PC Bang for the livestream, the game’s world already felt lived-in rather than invented.
The event lines up with a broader industry trend of blending real-world locations with game marketing — a technique with roots in how location-based storytelling has shaped entertainment for decades, as outlined on Wikipedia’s overview of experiential marketing.
