The title was originally going to be edited by Konami, but was canceled due to the controversy that arose at the time.
The Iraq War from the point of view of American soldiers. That’s what the studio behind the resurrected Six Days in Fallujah wants to do with their project. However, complaints have again flourished, especially by those who see this production as a propaganda or recruiting tool. In an interview with Polygon, Peter Tamte, CEO of Victura, has denied that they intend to make a political reading of the war.
“I think reasonable people may disagree with this,” he says, referring to not trying to delve into the events that triggered the Iraq War. “For us as a team, [el juego sirve] to help people understand the complexity of urban combat. It is about the experiences of this individual who is there for political reasons. And we want to show how the decisions that politicians make affect the decisions that [un marine] needs to take on the battlefield ”.
According to Tamte, the Marines cannot question the decisions that politicians have made. “We are not trying to make a political comment about whether the war itself was a good idea or a bad idea,” he says. This reasoning has been followed by numerous companies over the years. Ubisoft recently claimed something similar about The Division 2, although in this case the plot was fictitious.

Massive destruction weapons
The Iraq War began after the President of the United States, George W. Bush, claimed (falsely) that they had found weapons of mass destruction. The support of the Spain of José María Aznar and the United Kingdom of Labor party Tony Blair led to the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and opened a period of instability in the region.
Six Days in Fallujah will be released in 2021, on both consoles and PC. The title was canceled more than a decade ago after its publisher at the time, Konami, decided to do it due to the controversy that was generated at the time. Now, Victura and Highwire Games have taken over the Atomic Games project.
