Citing anonymous sources, Computer and Video Games reports that a remake of the cult computer game Syndicate is in the works from publisher Electronic Arts.

The early 90’s PC realtime strategy game cast players as the executive of a major corporation in a cyberpunk-style world, forcing them down a road of questionable moral decisions. Using a team of four cyborg agents, players assassinated rival execs, rescued allies, killed enemy agents and pushed the company’s brand on civilians and scientists. All the while, the corporation researched new weapons and technology with the tax dollars of conquered territories. The action unfolded through a cold, isometric viewpoint.

An expansion pack, called Syndicate Wars, was released in 1996 for PC and Playstation.

Whoever was talking to CVG didn’t reveal much else. The news site is thinking that developer Starbreeze (The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, The Darkness) might be tapped for the title, as they’ve signed with EA to reinvent an unnamed classic game. But earlier this year, legendary game designer Peter Molyneux, who produced the original game, told Shacknews that he “would love to redo a version of Syndicate.”

Given solid track record of Molyneux and Starbreeze, we’d love to have either of them on board.
