Highwire Games, developer of the war title, warn that there are also stealth missions in which we will take the role of an Iraqi civilian
When it was already considered lost, this very week we have been able to witness the return of Six Days in Fallujah, a war title based on real events that will have the participation of US soldiers, as well as Iraqi civilians. This has led some sectors to consider that the game could be considered propaganda for the US army, and as a consequence, a tool for recruiting new assets, something that Victura, the game’s publisher, has categorically denied.
“The US government is not involved in the game, and there are no plans to use it to recruit,” they have said in the official FAQ from the editor. “The Iraqi Marines, soldiers and civilians who have helped us do so as citizens, the game is being financed independently.”
Characters from various backgrounds
Six Days in Fallujah is based on a war that took place during the invasion of Iraq by the US armed forces, in which many civilians from the eastern country died. The game was originally announced in 2019, but Konami decided to cancel it due to a wave of criticism to now be resurrected under the Victura umbrella and the development of Highwire Games, which have not been without criticism either, some of them even coming from American soldiers. , who used social networks to show their refusal to capture this event in a video game. Obviously, it doesn’t help that Peter Tamte, Victura’s boss, has long received funds from the CIA itself, but even so, both companies say they are taking everything with caution.
In fact, from Highware Games they anticipate that the player will not always take the role of an American character. “Multiple countries had forces in the city, and not all of them are publicly known,” they assert from the developer studio. “Additionally, the single player campaign includes some very intense stealth missions, where you play as an Iraqi civilian.”
Six Days in Fallujah will arrive throughout this year 2021, to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC.
