Three mega corporations – Eurocorp, Cayman Global, and Aspari, are at loggerheads to achieve power and play an important role in the American market. Gamers will play as Miles Kilo, Eurocorp’s latest prototype agent who will journey through a world full of ‘corruption and revenge.’
Jeff Gamon, EA Partners Executive Producer, stated, “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. 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.”
In the world of Syndicate, everything and everyone is digitally connected. A technology named DART 6 bio-chip will enable players to slow down time and breach the digital world around them. Variety of upgradable hacking mechanics would also be a part of this shooter.
EA and Starbreeze will be bringing Syndicate to the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC early 2012.
