Today, the Asahi Shimbun reported that Konami will no longer be publishing the first-person shooter Six Days in Fallujah, which is set in Fallujah, Iraq. The game depicts the violent street battles between U.S. forces and Iraqi terrorists during a several-week period in 2004. The game was being developed by Atomic Games and was very accurate to the actual conflict.
A PR official from Konami offered this comment to the Asahi: "after seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and e-mail, we decided several days ago not to sell it. We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there."
The shooter, which was originally scheduled for a launch sometime in 2010, doesn't appear to be cancelled just yet. There is a possibility that a new publisher will pick up the Atomic Games project.
