EA is set to reveal a brand new entry in Bullfrog's cult classic Syndicate series, CVG has been told.
Cast your mind back to when Starbreeze struck that deal with EA to resurrect one of the publisher's "classic franchises" and Syndicate was hotly tipped. Starbreeze definitely sounds like a good fit for the gritty cyberpunk universe as well.
No more details were offered by our secret agent, but to see a current-gen remake of the PC and PSOne RTS - which still has a cherished place in many a veteran gamer's heart - would no doubt please many.
In case you're wondering what we're on about, the original Syndicate was released in 1993 and later followed up in 1996 by Syndicate Wars.
The game put players in charge of a militant global corporation, and tasked them with leading cyborg agents around a gritty cyberpunk world rescuing captured allies and assassinating rival syndicate executives. It was awesome.
We'll let you know if our deepthroats are on the money. In the meantime, which genre would you like to see a modern day Syndicate sliced into? |

| On the one hand I am very excited about this, and on the other i'm quite worried becase, well EA does have a habbit off ruining just about every franchise they have. I can just see the press release "The new Sydicate will be exactly like the new one, except more user friendly so that even a 10 year old can pick it up, which of course means that we will have to tone the violence, gore and complexity down a bit, but other than that it will be exactly like the classic Syndicate" :nervous: |
