Frontlines: Fuel of War, the first game from THQ’s internal developer Kaos Studios, is an open-world first-person shooter in development for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Players will take control of infantry and vehicles, and wield next-gen weaponry as you fight in a near future world. Controlling the planet’s depleting fossil resources will determine the fate of civilization and a war is raging between two superpowers: the Western Coalition (US/EU) and the Red Star Alliance (Russia/China).

The single-player campaign will revolve around this war, with missions focussed on moving the frontline through enemy territory.

Frontlines: Fuel of War will take players to the next generation of combat. The game focuses on the cutting edge in military technology that will allow players to experience the highly-charged frontlines of tomorrow, today,” said Frank DeLise, general manager, Kaos Studios. “Through intense, nail biting, non-linear single- or multi-player campaigns, players will be able to use more than 60 vehicles and advanced weaponry, from next-generation assault tanks to experimental RC drones.

Kaos Studios represents THQ’s increased focus on fostering the industry’s most talented individuals to deliver innovative and original titles for the next-gen cycle,” said Kelly Flock, executive vice president, worldwide publishing, THQ. “Frontlines: Fuel of War bridges two of the most popular genres in gaming, and it’s all from the very creative minds of an elite team with a proven track record of success.

Frontlines: Fuel of War is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC towards the end of 2007.
