Fallujah dev unveils Breach

By Robert Purchese Published 23 March, 2010

Multiplayer shooter for PC, consoles.

Atomic Games, creator of Six Days in Fallujah, has announced a new multiplayer shooter called Breach.

The game's in development for PC and consoles, and appears to revolve around CIA special operatives. So far that's all we know. No publisher has been linked to the game.

"So you've managed to decode this section to reveal the classified information. Come on! Did you really think it was going to be that easy? Yes, we do work for military and intelligence organisations. Yes, we are creating a game that will blow your mind. Yes, some of it was actually redacted. Yes, many of us have security clearances. So what that all means is I can't tell you anything more than is in this release until it's okay. Until then, we are high-speed, low-drag and ready to work. Molon Labe," waffled the press release.

Atomic's Six Days in Fallujah dominated headlines for being a US Marine-bossed recreation of a stand-out Iraq War battle. Publisher Konami soon dropped the title amid media frenzy and the game sunk promptly after, despite Atomic's claims that there was "a lot" of other interest.

    What on earth is up with that press release...? I honestly have no idea what they're trying to convey.

    You'd think that after the whole Six Days in Fallujah debacle, they'd be treading more carefully with their PR, in an effort to right the ship of their public image..

    Why does the press release sound like a particularly annoying JRPG villain? What an obnoxious piece of marketing!

    Breach is also the name of a album filled with boring FM-rock. AND the name of the best swedish hardcore band ever. What does this have to do with games? Nothing...I'm just bored.

    "Yes, many of us have security clearances."

    Me too. Even for a very sciency laboratory, cleanroom and stuff *gasp*
    But what has that to do with the game?

    Whats with the guy sounding like half his team are CIA employees? EALA don't go this far, and they have 3 Teir 1 soldiers advising on MoH. It kind of ridicues the announcement to me.

    They might need decent security, could make them targets or (more likely) one person needs to be sat down and spoken to. By a shrink first of all, and if this guy is right a verbal bashing by whatever agency gave him clearance.

    Torture! Kidnap! Foreign Travel! Arms Dealing! Now you too can waterboard terrorism suspects you've extraordinarily rendered to Romania and Hungary. Or supply rocket launchers and machine guns to feudal Middle-Eastern militias. Or fabricate evidence of WMDs so that you can go on exciting adventures in exotic warzones. Come on, young, impressionable man, what are you waiting for? Let's play CIA!

    ENOUGH WITH THE SPECIAL OPS ALREADY. I want a fair, accurate portrayal of what real soldiers do every day in Afghanistan, not yet another bunch of shadowy elites jumping snow mobiles over cliffs while headshotting Osama's chiropodist and shouting "Mission Accomplished! OORAH!"

    A multiplayer shooter for PC and consoles centred around spec ops... they're really pushing the boat out aren't they.
