Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.,
announced today that Six Days in Fallujah is currently in development for the
Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer
entertainment system and Windows PC. Developed by Atomic Games, Six Days in
Fallujah is a new third person shooter experience that puts the player in the
center of the largest urban military operation in four decades. Six Days in
Fallujah combines the action of a military shooter with the realism of a
documentary film to create a new kind of experience that is both historical and
engaging. Partnering with over three dozen US Marines to help develop the game
along with unprecedented access to battle plans, after action reports, photos,
videos and satellite maps makes this game the most authentic military shooter to
date. Coupled with missions, objectives and scenarios grounded in factual
events, Six Days in Fallujah will create an authentic 3rd person shooter unlike
any ever developed.
"Six Days in Fallujah creates a very
compelling interactive experience," said Brian Christian, Vice President of
Product Development for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "We are creating a
3rd person shooter unlike any other by combining a brand new game engine,
authentic weaponry, missions and combat set against the gripping story of the US
Marines on the ground."
Six Days in Fallujah lets players
experience the historic battle of Fallujah as a US Marine fire-team leader and
places them in the heat of the action against the insurgency. Players are able
to physically shape the battlefield just as US Marines did during the battle in
Fallujah. Create new lines of attack by kicking in doors, blowing up walls,
eliminating enemy cover and destroying the environment around them. To make the
battle even more authentic, heavy emphasis has been put into the environments
using real world satellite maps, weapons from US Marines and vehicles used in
the conflict to fully immerse players in this epic confrontation and experience
what it was like to be a Marine on the ground. In addition, Six Days in Fallujah
will include multiplayer functionality – allowing players to team up with other
fire team members in co-op and online modes.
Six Days in Fallujah is scheduled to
be released in 2010 on Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION®3 system and Windows PC.
