Rumours say that new Starbreeze title is to be based on classic Bullfrog sci-fi RTS
Consumer site CVG is claiming that EA is on the verge of announcing a next-gen addition to its popular Syndicate franchise.
The site claims the upcoming title on the way as part of the agreement between EA and developer Starbreeze that was announced earlier this year, in which it was confirmed that the studio was working on resurrecting a ‘classic franchise’.
And Starbreeze certainly has a good pedigree in dark sci-fi romps, having been responsible for the critically acclaimed and wonderfully atmospheric Xbox outing The Chronicles of Riddick. Indeed, when the news of the EA-Starbreeze first brok, it was the Syndicate brand that was on the lips of everyone at the MCV office.
Syndicate, which was developed by Peter Molyneux’s Bullfrog Productions, first arrived on PC in 1993 and tasked players with taking control of a militant global corporation. The game allowed users to play as four cyborg agents across a range of violent missions.

WOOT!!! I spent hours on this game back in the day. So glad to see it's getting re-made!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Fantastic
Agreed, Yen - it's a classic brand. I'm genuinely excited to see what they do with this one. Having Starbreeze on board is a bonus too.
Re: Re: Fantastic
Lets hope its in keeping with the original/Amercian Revolt and not the complete balls-up sequels...
Re: Re: Re: Fantastic
So this is the new EA, releasing quality games to generate good buzz and resurrecting some of the old studio titles they squished during their churn and burn phase?
Cool - sign me up!
We could do with some non-military RTS, alwyas loved the original. Guessing there wont be a mac version, but 360 will surfice.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Fantastic
First arrived on PC...???? Um.... Wasn't it released on the Amiga first and the PC a month or two later?
