Konami announces Six Days in Fallujah, based on 2004 Iraq battle on the Los
Angeles Times profiles an upcoming third-person survival/horror shooter set
in Iraq being developed by
recently revived developer Atomic
Games. There is also an article on the game in the
Wikipedia
offering details from the May 2009 issue of Gamepro magazine, quoting Atomic's
Peter Tamte describing this as "a meticulously recreated in-game version of
Fallujah, complete with real life Marines lending their names and likenesses, as
well as recreations of specific events from the battle. It's almost like time
travel. You're experiencing the events as they really happened." The
survival/horror theme is ascribed to the game based on the atmosphere created by
clearing a city house-by-house, rather than the presence of zombies or their
ilk, and word is the game will also include destructible environments. The game
is in development for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, but no release date is
offered.
