After being rumored for most of eternity, and being leaked over the weekend on EA's Origin service, publisher and developer Starbreeze Studios finally unveiled the existence of the first-person shooter, Syndicate.
Set in 2069, and created by a development team that boasts providing great shooters such as The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness, Syndicate takes players into a dark, lawless world with a three-way war occurring between the Eurocorp, Cayman Global, and Aspari corporations. Being set in the future, weapons are not your only friend, as you can slow down time and complete a variety of upgradable hacking mechanics, blending the "innovative chip breach gameplay" into the game's fast-paced shooter structure.
Syndicate is due out in 2012 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. After trolling around the internet, as well as the EpicBattleAxe comment section, it doesn't seem like this is the winner of an announcement I'm sure EA and Starbreeze hoped for. Is this really a day of reckoning?
