In a press quote that will doubtless be copy-pasted through the realms of rosy-tinted nostalgia junkies only to be instantly forgotten by the original speaker, EA Partners executive producer Jeff Gamon has told Eurogamer<\/a> that “there is scope” to do a more authentic Syndicate remake.<\/p>\n

The brand is getting the reboot treatment as an FPS over at Starbreeze, but of course, many fans would like to see another tactical \/ strategy game in the series.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The original was such a classic. There is scope to remake it,” said Gamon. “But I don’t think it necessarily has to be exactly the same genre. If we did there are probably other platforms which are more suitable for it than the consoles we’re making it for, if we wanted to go in that more strategic route, that perspective.”<\/p>\n

“I would love to see Syndicate as a true franchise again, bringing it back and expanding it out onto whatever platforms it’s suitable for.”<\/p>\n

He also added that there’s “loads of potential” for PC and iOS, but that – and here’s the important bit – it’s all “purely speculative” for the moment. In the meantime, it’s all about getting the name back out there.<\/p>\n

“Syndicate was a classic franchise and brand, but it’s been a long time since it’s been out there. A lot of today’s gamers don’t know it. So we need to go out there with a game, with a brand, and establish that brand and just take it from there,” explained Gamon.<\/p>\n
