Syndicate Launches Today

Syndicate, by Starbreeze Studios and EA, has launched in stores across North America today on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game is a re-imagining of the 1993 cult classic, it blends fast-paced action and a futuristic setting with an innovative chip breach gameplay mechanic to provide a unique setting. Using the advanced DART 6 bio-chip technology implanted in their head, gamers can dilate time, see through walls, and breach the digital world and enemies around them.

Critics are recognizing the advantages of this unique hacking mechanic with GameSpot.com touting, “there’s some sick satisfaction to be had with the game’s breach abilities” and @ Gamer Magazine praising the game for its “addictive hacking gameplay.”

Set in 2069, Syndicate takes players into a dark, Machiavellian world where corporations are vying for market dominance. With no government to question their intentions or actions, mega corporations are at the forefront of this war. Stepping into the mind of Miles Kilo, Eurocorp’s latest prototype agent, gamers embark on a brutal action adventure full of corruption and revenge.

Syndicate features the talents of celebrated actors Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Men in Black II) and Brian Cox (The Bourne Identity), who take on the roles of cutthroat executives working for the biggest and most aggressive syndicate. The engaging storyline was penned by award-winning sci-fi writer Richard Morgan (Altered Carbon, Thirteen) who has brought these deeply conflicted characters to life in an unforgiving world where violence, corruption, technology and betrayal have become the everyday tools of business.
