Sonderkommando Revolt, the video game mod that reimagines an Auschwitz uprising as a bloody, pixelated shooter, may never see release, according to the projectās lead creator. He blames the āemotional traumaā of media attention for its demise.

Israeli mod enthusiast Maxim āDoomjediā Genis says the attention Sonderkommando Revolt has received from those outside the Wolfenstein 3D modding community is responsible for its cancellation. In an interview with Heeb Magazine, Genis says āDespite having no anti-jewish elements or intentions in this free pixelated mod of an 18-year old game, the project is declared cancelled at this point.ā
āThe project is cancelled because I cannot stand media exposure of any kind,ā a distressed Genis tells the Jewish magazine, saying that heās experienced āvery deepā emotional trauma over the scrutiny of his teamās game. āI have no internal emotional powers to deal with the press, the violation of my personal privacy and life,ā he adds.

Genis told Kotaku earlier this month that Sonderkommando Revolt was not designed as political or social commentary, but simply as a game meant to be enjoyed by a tight-knit group of Wolf3D mod enthusiasts. He later said he regretted using the word āfunā to describe the game.
