Syndicate Gets Four-Player Co-Op Demo on PS3 and Xbox 360 This Month

Electronic Arts and Starbreeze Studios have confirmed that their upcoming Syndicate first person shooter will receive a demo of its four-player cooperative mode on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The Syndicate franchise gained a cult-like following back in the 1990s with its quality strategy titles. Now, EA is trying to reboot the series with a first person shooter game called simply Syndicate.

While the original titles saw players lead their own corporations to global domination, the new title will see them enter the shoes of an Agent, who needs to get his hands dirty and ensure the profit of his employer.

Besides the single-player campaign, there’s also a co-op mode with support for up to four players. We’ve already seen it in action through a video and now it seems that anyone interested in the game will be able to experience it thanks to a free demo.

“In 2069 the world is divided into regions controlled by three mega-corporations known as Syndicates. Starting at the end of January with the release of the four-player Syndicate co-op demo, gamers have the power to create their own Syndicate to take down the competition. The Syndicate co-op demo will feature one of the nine missions in the game, all of which can be played with up to four players and many of which have been reimagined from the original hit game,” EA said.

“In this mission called Western Europe, gamers must team up and infiltrate Cayman Global, assassinate Colonel Enrico Gabron, steal his technology blueprints and force his people back across the Atlantic. The odds of success look promising with Cayman Global badly weakened after their war against Eurocorp, but it won’t come easy.”

This demo for Syndicate will be made available at the end of the month on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. While a concrete release date for it isn’t known, you can still check out a video promoting the free trial below.
