A reinvention of EA’s franchise, Syndicate, has been announced today. In development by the studio that brought us such games as, The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness, Starbreeze Studios. Set in a not too distant future, you’ll play as Milo Kilo, in a sci-fi first-person shooter filled with corruption and revenge where big businesses wage war.
2069 is the year the reinvention of Syndicate takes place. The three major businsses of EuroCorp, Cayman Global, and Aspari wage a literal and digital war for the American market. The digital war of Syndicate is where things start to become interesting.
“Through DART 6 bio-chip technology implanted in their head, players can slow down time and breach the digital world around them to take down their foes using a variety of upgradable hacking mechanics.”
“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 is set to release early 2012 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

I’m almost just sick of first-person games altogether.
