THQ ANNOUNCES FRONTLINES: FUEL OF WAR FROM INTERNAL DEVELOPER KAOS STUDIOS

Creators of Desert Combat and Key Technologies for Battlefield 2 prepare for Next-Generation Warfare

An evolution in riveting, open-world first-person shooter gameplay, Frontlines: Fuel of War is the first product from THQ's internal developer, Kaos Studios. Founded by veterans of Trauma Studios, creators of Desert Combat and designer of key technologies for Battlefield 2, Kaos Studios boasts a 50-person team that also includes members from the development teams of other acclaimed shooters, including FEAR, Medal of Honor and Doom 3.

Frontlines: Fuel of War is an open world, infantry and vehicle-based FPS (First Person Shooter) featuring advanced next-gen weaponry in a desperate, near future setting where controlling the planet's depleting fossil resources determines the ultimate fate of civilization. A global war for oil is being waged between two superpowers, the Western Coalition (US/EU) and the Red Star Alliance (Russia/China), and players will be instrumental in determining how the war is waged - and won. The single player campaign will focus on this powerful storyline as players' execute missions focused on non-linear gameplay, moving their frontline through enemy held 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."

Frontlines: Fuel of War is being developed for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, and is expected to be released in Autumn 2007.
