Victura‘s documentary related to its Six Days in Fallujah video game will be featured at an exhibit for video games depicting war at London’s Imperial War Museum.
Victura has one of the most controversial projects in the works in gaming with Six Days in Fallujah, which is a first-person shooter game that captures the Second Battle of Fallujah during the Iraq War in 2004. The game was canceled once, then it was revived by Victura, and it still faced criticism as war propaganda.
The Imperial War Museum has gathered a number of video games for an exhibit called War Games: Real Conflicts | Virtual Worlds | Extreme Entertainment. It has a wide range of titles from the civilian-oriented This War of Mine to the realistic shooter Sniper Elite 5. The exhibit opens today and runs through May 28, 2023. The exhibit seeks to challenge perceptions of how video games interpret stories about war and conflict. I have spent a day in this museum and it was very well done.
Victura is providing its exclusive game footage and interviews in a documentary that was created by the team that is building Six Days in Fallujah. Game developers of Middle Eastern descent and others have said that the subject is too raw and the game shouldn’t exist.
