What is the truth about adding Saddam Hussein's character in the next update of the PUBG video game?
Several pages on social media platforms circulated the following post: "PUBG adds the character of "Saddam Hussein" in its new update, free for all players".
The truth:
1- By searching to verify the news of adding the character of “Saddam Hussein” to the PUBG video game, we did not find any source to prove that this is true, as the official website PUBG video game and its official accounts on social media platforms did not announce adding such a character in the upcoming updates. Click here and here.
2- As for the attached photo that shows Saddam Hussein in the PUBG video game, we found the original video clip from which these photos were taken and we reached the designer of the video clip as well.
We contacted him and made sure that the design was his own work, as he assured us that he was the one who made the video clip in which Saddam Hussein appears in the PUBG video game, and it was a customers' request. He also published it on his accounts and then removed it because of the unexpected reactions to the video. Click here.
Note that the designer's information was hidden at his request.
And this is not the first time that some pages have exploited video games to fabricate controversial news, as we have previously debunked a piece of news that some pages on social media platforms have published that the latest thing done by “Fortnite” video game similar to the “PUBG” is to plant in the hearts of players the demolition of the Kaaba, However, after we verified it and we denied the news.
