Long rumored, Starbreeze Studios and Electronic Arts have officially announced that a new version of Syndicate is under development. Set in the year 2069, three mega-corporations Eurocorp, Cayman Global, and Aspari are fighting for control of America using precise digital control of the highly networked world.
“We are excited to finally reveal what we’ve been working on the past couple years,” said CEO of Starbreeze Studios Mikael Nermark. “It’s been a great experience working with EA, and an amazing opportunity for us to use our expertise in the first person shooter and action genres to bring back, and reignite, the signature action/espionage gameplay of 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,” said EA Partners executive producer Jeff Gamon. “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.”
