The world is not as we know it. Various disasters have altered the planet's landscape, and people are fighting over all sorts of fun things. Set in 2161, players will take on the role of Mason Briggs, a demolitions guy working for the Atlantic Alliance. Their rivals are the Pacifican army, who use genetically enhanced soldiers. Nasty. To make up for it though, the Atlantic Alliance soldiers are cybernetically enhanced, so it's all fair.
What LucasArts are hoping sets Fracture apart from the fact is the use of terrain deformation. Basically, players have various weapons and tools at their disposal which will change the shape of the land. For example, if Briggs comes across a big wall he can't climb, he can fire his rocket launcher to blow a hole in the ground under it to pass.
The game has an estimated release date of mid-2008. Until then, there's screenshots in the media panel, and a trailer on the official website, here.
