Six Days in Fallujah will be about knocking down doors and hunting Al Qaeda fighters.

Six Days in Fallujah is coming to PC and consoles in 2021

Six Days in Fallujah was so controversial when Konami first proposed it that the developers abandoned it. Now the video game capturing the experience of war will debut on the consoles and PC in 2021.

Nobody wanted to publish the game in 2009 after veterans and others opposed to the war in Iraq protested the very idea of the game. But after more than a decade of time passing, game developers are going to give it a try again and publish the title this year. It’s going to walk the same line that we saw with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare about how realistic war video games should be.
