Delve into this Brutal Cyberpunk World where Business is War

Sydney, Australia – Feb. 24, 2012 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Starbreeze Studios (The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness) today announced that Syndicate™ is now available at retail stores across New Zealand. A re-imagining of EA’s cult classic from 1993, Syndicate blends fast-paced action and futuristic settings with an innovative chip breach gameplay mechanic to provide a brutal sci-fi first person shooter experience.

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.”
