Cult Classic Syndicate arriving 2012

Electronic Arts Inc and Starbreeze Studios have announced the reinvention of the cult classic franchise Syndicate.

Created by the team that delivered games to the like of The Chronicles of Riddick and the Darkness, Starbreeze studios gives gamers a unique and brutal sci-fi first person shooter experience through the eyes of Miles Kilo, Eurocorps latest prototype agent.

Set in 2069, Syndicate takes players into a dark Machiavellian world run without government. Three mega corporations - Eurocorp, Cayman Global and Aspari - are the forefront of this war of the American market.

In the world of Syndicate, everything is digitally connected, including the people. Gamers can slow down time and breach the digital world around them to take down their enemies.

“Our goal with Syndicate is to provide a challenging action shooter for today’s gamers as well as fans of the original. I’m sure they will enjoy and recognize the legacy that made it such a classic,” says Jeff Gamon, EA Partners Executive Producer.

“Fans of the franchise will recognize many weapons and environments in the game, but in a whole new way. The game also provides a separate and deep 4-player co-op mode featuring missions from the original cult classic, which adds another layer of depth to the overall experience.”

Syndicate will be available early 2012 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
