Well it seems a dead cert as a script from Starbreeze has leaked, and sounds all sci-fi and dystopian. There’s dialogue, in-game promotions and news feeds.
The original game was all about corporate warfare around the world with a European company have created a perception altering chip. The leaked script mentions a ‘Dart chip’ which can alter memories of the user. They certainly sound familiar.
Below is some dialogue between scientists.
M SCIENTIST
I heard they’re gonna launch the Dart 6 consumer chip soon.
F SCIENTIST
Yeah. The new Dart Re-Member software looks excellent. Much better than the old versions.
M SCIENTIST
You know what I’d remember?
F SCIENTIST
What?
M SCIENTIST
That I was an agent –they get to sleep with all the hot chicks.
F SCIENTIST
You’re such a loser. Anyway, Drawl did a hell of a job on the new chip.
M SCIENTIST
Y’know. Someone told me she’s a DownZone kid, can you believe that? Got a degree at New Columbia. Yeah, the street in her shines through sometimes. If she keeps that in check, she could go far.
M SCIENTIST
She’s a sharp girl. But we’ll see.
F SCIENTIST
I told Calico off…and so I say to him, ‘where the fuck am I going to get five hundred pristine
kidneys that fast?’
M SCIENTIST
Well, street kids, right? Maybe another DownZone sweep?
F SCIENTIST
Yeah, maybe. But we’re barely keeping up with demand as it is. Ask Irene. Market’s gone
completely crazy the last six months since they launched the Reviveage chip campaign…
Siliconera has more of the leaked game script from Starbreeze. Hopefully EA will be breaking an announcement out at E3 next month. Another Swedish developer unofficially confirmed Starbreeze was rebooting Syndicate in a GTA-style.
