Syndicate
The long-standing rumors were true, EA and developer Starbreeze Studios are teaming up to bring you a new Syndicate in early 2012 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
The game is set in 2069 America, where three corporations – Eurocorp, Cayman Global, and Aspari – vie for corporate dominance above government control. But there are benefits of this Capitalism run amok. Syndicate's hero, Miles Kilo, is a Eurocorp agent with a DART 6 bio-chip implanted in his head that lets him slow down time, hack terminals, and otherwise fit in with other futuristic tropes – including shooting people.
"Our goal with Syndicate is to provide a challenging action shooter for today’s gamers as well as fans of the original," says Jeff Gamon, EA Partners executive producer. "I’m sure they will enjoy and recognize the legacy that made it such a classic. 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 four-player co-op mode featuring missions from the original cult classic, which adds another layer of depth to the overall experience."
Look for more on Syndicate in the October issue of Game Informer.
