THQ has officially announced Frontlines: Fuel of War, the first-person shooter that we brought you first word on yesterday.
In development at THQ's Kaos Studios and targeting PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, the game's described as an "infantry- and vehicle-based FPS... 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." You can take a breath now.

Superpowers the Western Coalition (the US and Europe) and the Red Star Alliance (Russia and China) are engaging in a globe-spanning war for oil, according to the scenario. No mention of multiplayer is made in the official announcement, but it's stated that the game's 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."

Frank DeLise, general manager, Kaos Studios, has added: "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. 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 currently pencilled in for an autumn 2007 release.
