Six Days in Fallujah ‘definitely not cancelled’

Atomic Games has said that Six Days in Fallujah is "definitely not cancelled" and that the controversial Iraq War shooter remains "very important" to the studio.

Peter Tamte, the president of Breach maker Atomic, told Digital Spy that he hopes to finish Six Days in Fallujah, but it will "require time and persistence".

Announced in 2009, Six Days in Fallujah was to be the first game based on the 2003 invasion of Iraq, taking inspiration from the Second Battle of Fallujah, in which 1,500 insurgents and 38 US troops reportedly lost their lives.

However, the game attracted criticism from Iraq war veterans in the UK and campaign group Stop the War Coalition, who claimed that it was insensitive to the victims of the battle and came too soon after the real events.
