Syndicate is an upcoming FPS being developed by Starbreeze Studios, who also worked on ‘The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena’ and ‘The Darkness’. It’s a reboot of an early 90’s real time strategy game of the same name, but its current iteration looks more like Deux Ex than Starcraft, which in my opinion is in no way a bad thing. I’d have to see more as the game gets closer to launch, but this trailer alone has me pretty excited already. Syndicate drops February 21st, 2012.

Looks pretty slick. The rain and city environments give the game sort of a ‘Blade Runner’ feel, which is a good thing to me.
As an enthusiast of the original game I was disappointed that it changed from a strategy to a shooter. This changed when I learnt that the game’s story has been written by Richard K Morgan, the author responsible for the “Altered Carbon” trilogy which is outstanding science fiction.
I may pick it up for that reason alone.
