Angel Villaverde, a technology engineering student, develops war-themed games for the Roblox gaming platform in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon State, Mexico, on November 19, 2025. A soldier quietly puts on his uniform, grabs his rifle and fires at drug traffickers in Mexico: it is not a real scene, but one from a popular video game developed by young people who recreate the armed conflicts in their communities. These video games, with thousands of daily users, are part of what is known as "narco-culture," a phenomenon that is growing in Mexico and is also reflected in music, movies and fashion that glorify criminal life.
