EA Announces Syndicate, A New Twist on a Classic Franchise

By Ken Brown

EA and publisher Starbreeze Studios have announced a reintroduction of the classic franchise Syndicate. This time around, the game will be available for PC, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. The gaming studio that brought you “The Chronicles of Riddick” and “The Darkness”, have a new twist on the classic sci-fi first-person shooter. Now the game is set in 2069 in a world run without government control and syndicates vying for control of the American market. Players will not have a limit to the types of weapons at their disposal and will be able to slow down time and hack the digital world around them to take down their enemies. EA promises that Syndicate will be a fast-paced and innovative action shooter available in early 2012.

EA's Syndicate

“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.”
