Atomic Games made the headlines for quite some time earlier this year when its planned release, Six Days in Fallujah, was dropped by publisher Konami, on the back of reports that insurgents from Iraq were paid by the developers in order to consult on the game alongside United States Marines.
The reports proved to be inaccurate, but the controversy among the game and the unsettling setting meant that Atomic Games has had since a tough time actually finding a company that is interested in publishing the title.

Still, Peter Tamte, who is the president of Atomic Games, told the Marine Corps Times that he was still interested in getting the game to players at some point. Until then, a sister company of Atomic, called Destinner, is set to release a title called Marines Modern Urban Combat for the Nintendo Wii on November 10, which is the same date when Modern Warfare 2 is set to come out.

Tamte told the military publication that, “One of our objectives with First to Fight that also carried forward to this project is to celebrate the values of the Marine Corps – honor, courage and commitment. We view this more as an opportunity for the average consumer to understand more about Marines than they might get just by reading the newspaper.” The same can, presumably, also be applied to Six Days in Fallujah.

Modern Urban Combat is set to take place in an accurate replica of real-life Lebanon, although it does not aim to actually simulate any historical conflict. No Marines have consulted on the game, but the Close Combat: First to Fight title, on which the new release is based, has benefited from information offered by the Marine Corps. Players interested in the new game can expect tough firefights and a taste of what Six Days in Fallujah could actually be if it is ever released.
