Iranian PC game has players blowing up US tanker
Iranian PC game has players blowing up US tanker-December 2024
Dec 15, 2024 12:01 AM

  Tensions between the US and Iran have been growing in recent years, and they're spilling over into the world of games. In May it was reported that an Iranian student-made game under development had players rescuing an Iranian nuclear scientist from US forces. The next month, US-based Kuma Reality Games announced Assault on Iran, Pt. 3: Payback in Iraq, a follow-up of sorts in which it was stated that the fictional scientist had defected.

  Now the Iranian development community appears to be firing back with another game. A Reuters article citing the daily paper Jomhouri-ye Eslami is reporting that a new Iranian PC game requires players to blow up a US tanker in the Persian Gulf, blocking the sea route for a substantial portion of the world's oil supplies.

  The game was developed by a team of eight over three months, and its release was reportedly timed to coincide with commemorations of the Iran-Iraq War, which started September 22, 1980, and continued throughout the decade.
