And looks to offer "unique technologies and game mechanics."
Six Days in Fallujah, a cancelled Iraq War first-person shooter (FPS), has been resurrected for a planned 2021 release.
Original announced by Konami and developer Atomic Games back in 2009, the project will now be developed by Highwire Games and published by Victura, a company established by Atomic Games’ former CEO, Peter Tamte.
Highwire Games — which is chock-a-block with former Halo developers including Creative Director Jaime Griesemer and Audio Director Marty O’Donnell — says it has interviewed over 100 marines, soldiers and Iraqi civilians for the revitalised project. Set to simulate six days of conflict in Fallujah, based on a real battle that pitted US Marines against Al Qaeda, the title hopes to offer up “unique technologies and game mechanics” as compared to other military FPS titles.
“Six Days in Fallujah is a first-person tactical military shooter that recreates true stories of Marines, Soldiers, and Iraqi civilians who fought Al Qaeda during the toughest urban battle since 1968,” the game’s announcement trailer proclaims. “Lead a fireteam through accurately recreated encounters from the real battle, built with technology that brings you closer to the uncertainty and tactics of real combat than any other game has explored until now.”
