Development studio of the just-announced Syndicate reboot, Starbreeze, says "it was always going to be an FPS." Game director Neil McEwan told OXM the re-imagining of the world was inspired by what the the 1993 classic would look like in first-person; "the original nub of the idea was to take that viewpoint from the original game and zoom into the Agent's head, and play that part. A closer experience - to become one of those Agents."

"We're big fans of the original Syndicate, and we're definitely paying as much homage to it as we can - bringing across the essence of the world, the core essence of what it is to be an Agent," he added. "That sounds wanky but it's true - we're taking the Persuadatron and evolving it in different ways, the weapons and brutality. On both facets of the game, the co-op and the single player, it's very key to stay true to it.

"We've been very lucky to work with a great, original world, and create another facet of it really. I would love them [fans of the original] to like it. You're never going to please everyone."

Additionally, it was revealed in PSM3 that "a body" of Bullfrog veterans are among those working on the resurrection of the classic.
