This Syndicate 2012 Preview gives a quick look at what can be expected from Starbreeze Studios’ upcoming Sci-fi themed, FPS reboot.
Set in 2069, players will take on the role of Miles Kilo; a prototype agent, he has the ability to breach anything in the wired dataverse, including enemies, weapons and the environment.
The verse of Syndicate will present us with a world no longer governed by politicians resulting in regional divisions controlled by mega-corporations known as syndicates.
Consumers require a device to access the world’s data via a neural chip. These chips allow users to enjoy all that their selected syndicate has to offer: housing, medical, banking, insurance, education, entertainment and jobs. In return however, the syndicates gain unprecedented insights, and control over individuals and their behavior.
The syndicates have revolutionized how the consumer interacts with the digital world in which they reside and they will stop at nothing for ultimate market dominance.
This upcoming video game by Starbreeze Studios is due to be released in early 2012 for the PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms.
Take an exclusive look at Syndicate’s 11-minute single player gameplay walk through!
Create your own 4-player co-op team; cooperate, infiltrate and eliminate through nine action-packed missions, inspired by the original Syndicate game.
The origins, evolution and re-imagining of Syndicate are explored in this trailer. In a world where Business is War, you are the weapon.
