Six Days In Fallujah: Controversial Iraq War Game postponed to 2022

Victura and Highwire Games have announced that Six Days in Fallujah, a controversial shooter based on the actual battle of Fallujah during the Iraq War, has been delayed to 2022.

More specifically, Sniper has been pushed back to Q4 2022, citing that the team behind it needs more people to reach the quality level the studio is seeking. It also requires more capital and time, so it is delayed.

In his acting announcement, Victura CEO Peter Tamte said, “It has become clear that reproducing these true stories in high quality will require more people, capital and time than we do.” “Doubling the team is just one of many things we’re doing to ensure Six Days in Fallujah offers a new kind of tactical and emotional depth to military shooters.”

Atomic Games attempted to release a set of games during the Battle of Fallujah in 2009. However, the project has been duly criticized for the developer’s decision to publish the game with the CIA, which many call it propaganda. Eventually, Atomic Games’ project was reopened in February with the news that Victura and Highwire Games were instead leading the Falluja-centric game.

Regarding the announcement, the studio said the team has spent more than three years building a unique technology that overhauls the game and its mechanics. He also said that he hopes to show the reality of war and its consequences beyond simply presenting other snipers. However, the re-release, like the first attempt at the game, received much criticism.

Time will tell what the final product will be, but now we know that it won’t come at least until the fourth quarter of next year.
