EA isn’t skimping anywhere on the Syndicate budget, pulling in some big names for their voice acting including Rosario Dawson and British Brian Cox of Bourne Identity fame.
Dawson plays Lily Drawl, a EuroCorp executive who finds herself pulled between her corporate leaders and the underground resistance. The actress commented on how impressed she was with the amount of attention to story, saying, “I’m amazed how videogames have become so deep in story, delivering fantastic worlds and memorable characters rivaling big Hollywood films.
“I was excited when EA approached me to play Lily Drawl in Syndicate. She’s an interesting and strong female character. How cool is it to play the mastermind who designed the military chip inside the player’s head!”
Cox is taking another villainous role, playing EuroCorp head honcho Jack Denham.
Mikael Nermark, CEO of Syndicate developer Starbreeze Studios, discusses the storyline: “Syndicate immerses players deep into a dystopian world of unscrupulous corporations and chip augmented enforcers.”
“These agents are the weapons of this war for market dominance and we needed strong talent to represent these intense characters. We are honored to have worked with the incredible Rosario Dawson, Brian Cox and Michael Wincott to make this world come alive.”
