Syndicate: Minimum System Requirements

Syndicate (initially called Project RedLime) is a science fiction game by Starbreeze Studios, released on February 21, 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. It is a reboot of the Syndicate series developed by Bullfrog Productions, completely changing the genre from a tactical shooter to an FPS.

In 2017, the Eurocorp mega-corporation is born after the world's largest corporate merger. Eurocorp releases the DART chip in 2025, a neural chip implant that allows users to access the dataverse and making most electronic devices obsolete. As a result of the DART chip, the world is no longer ruled by governments but by the mega-corporations, known as Syndicates. However, only half the world's population embrace the chip while the "unchipped" are abandoned and denied the same benefits like their chipped counterparts. Furthermore, corporate espionage for dominance between the Syndicates has become the norm that they created Agents, bio-engineered and chip-augmented enforcers who protect their corporate master's interest and steal their rivals.
