Earlier today, Electronic Arts and Starbreeze Studios announced the revival of that cult classic franchise SYNDICATE. The old game series originally developed by Bullfrog Productions, the UK studio founded in 1987 by Les Edgar and Peter Molyneux, is now being reinvented by an all-new development team from the awarding-winning studio that brought gamers The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness, Starbreeze Studios.
The new reinvented is still that unique and brutal sci-fi first-person shooter experience set in a not too distant future, where business is war. Players take on the role of Miles Kilo, Eurocorp’s latest prototype agent, and embark on an epic action adventure full of corruption and revenge.
Mikael Nermark, CEO of Starbreeze Studios said
“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 in early 2012 for PlayStation 3 , Xbox 360 and the PC.
