W3 Studios announces Abatron, a science fiction-themed real-time strategy/first-person shooter hybrid coming to Windows, OS X, and Linux using Valve's Source engine. They offer this trailer showing off the concept and gameplay to spur support for the game's Steam Greenlight campaign. Here's word on what to expect:

Shrapnel and flames pierce and singe your armor; your eyes are blinded by the destruction of your defensive tower. As ground forces are dwindled & slaughtered, you discover new technology enabling long range bombardment. You decisively spend resources to create new SIEGE, GROUND, and AERIAL units. While your enemy advances on the front lines, your flanking maneuver with starships goes unnoticed. Immediately, you switch to FIRST-PERSON-MODE. Now is the time to bring vengeance and rain death upon your enemy!

Abatron is space warfare on steroids. Blurring the lines between Real-Time-Strategy and First-Person-Shooter, Abatron is the next evolution of hybrid game-play. Create armies, then switch to FPS and play any unit at anytime! Truly, get into the battle and turn the tide of war.
