Formed from the ashes of Trauma Studios, creators of the hit Battlefield 1942 mod Desert Combat and one-time subsidiary of Digital Illusions CE, THQ today unveiled the first title to be developed by the newly formed Kaos Studios.
Frontlines: Fuel of War is currently in development for the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 for an autumn 2007 release, and finds the studio working to a similar battle-plan, by offering an open-world, infantry and vehicle-based first-person-shooter. Set in the near future, a time when controlling the planet's dwindling fossil fuels determines the ultimate fate of civilization, a global war is being fought between two superpowers, the Western Coalition (US/EU) and the Red Star Alliance (Russia/China).
The single-player campaign promises to focus on a powerful storyline on top of non-linear gameplay, as players attempt to move their 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."
