Six Days in Fallujah' Developer still searching for Publisher

June 9, 2009 - Six Days in Fallujah, a realistic shooter based on the 2004 battle for the Iraqi city of Fallujah, was cut by Konami soon after its announcement back in April 2009. Much has been speculated about what would happen to the game, or if any publisher would take a risk on the unfinished project.

Now, some news has surfaced suggesting the game could still see the light of day.


Peter Tamte, president of Atomic Games, recently told Newsweek the studio has seen interest from other game publishers to help get his game onto store shelves. But nothing is official just yet.

"We have a lot of people who are interested in the project," Tamte says. "But I'll feel better when we sign something and the checks start coming."

Considering the project reportedly still needs a few million dollars to be completed - raising total costs to around $20 million - the studio is at risk of being in major financial trouble should the game be put on hold forever.

"If for some reason it doesn't work, we'll have to think about making some very significant changes to the studio," he added.

Bad press is still good press, so it shouldn't be surprising when a smaller, lesser-known publisher picks up this game eventually.
