News: The first game from Kaos Studios should be a hoot.

THQ today announced Frontlines: Fuel of War, the first project from their new internal team Kaos Studios. Kaos, which is made up of refugees from Battlefield modmakers Trauma Studios, are creating the FPS for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. It is currently scheduled to ship in Fall 2007.

Frontlines will place players in a futuristic squad and vehicle-based first person shooter. A war for oil has begun between the Western Coalition (US/EU) and the Red Star Alliance (Russia/China) and only one side will earn the right to consume the crude.

"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."

We'll have more on Frontlines soon.
