Syndicate 2012

About

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.

What is happening now

Syndicate is a sci-fi action game originally released in 1993 across multiple platforms including PC, SNES, Genesis, and various others. The game established itself as a notable entry in the action genre during the early 90s. Recent coverage indicates activity in the gaming space around the "Syndicate" name, though it primarily involves unrelated titles. Streetlight Syndicate, a story-driven incremental crime game, launched on Steam in late July. Separately, developer Airship Syndicate - known for titles like Darksiders Genesis and Ruined King - is preparing to unveil a new sci-fi action game called DUST: Origins, which was revealed during Gamescom.
