EA and Starbreeze Studios announce the revival of the classic franchise Syndicate. The game which has been in the works for a couple of years now was finally announced by Starbreeze Studios, the developers behind “The Chronicles of Riddick” and “The Darkness”.

“Set in 2069, Syndicate takes players into a dark, Machiavellian world run without government oversight with many syndicates vying for total dominance of their local market place. With no one to question their intentions or actions, three mega corporations Eurocorp, Cayman Global, and Aspari are at the forefront of this brutal war for control of the pivotal American market. In the world of Syndicate, everything is digitally connected, including the people. Players aren’t limited to the weapons in their hands. 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. Syndicate’s blend of fast-paced, futuristic, action shooter settings and story combined with innovative chip breach gameplay instantly immerses players in a unique digital world.“

A world run without government oversight? WOW that sounds just like our world today. For those interested about the platform the game will be released sometime in early 2012 for the PC, Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360.
