Gamers looking to give Syndicate’s Co-op mode a play will be pleased to learn that today EA has announced they will be launching a Syndicate Co-op demo. This exciting demo will be arriving at the end of this month on both PSN and Xbox Live, offering players an early glimpse into the highly anticipated game.
The new demo will allow four players to join forces and enjoy an early taste of the new Syndicate game, which is currently being developed by Starbreeze Studios. This cooperative mode is expected to bring a fresh and engaging multiplayer experience, allowing players to strategize and work together to overcome challenges. Unfortunately for gamers in Australia, the demo will not be available due to the Syndicate game being refused classification by the Australian Classification Board.
Classification Issues in Australia
The Australian Classification Board was especially critical of what it considered the game’s excessive violence. The board’s complaints included explicit depictions of dismemberment, decapitation, exposed flesh and bone from injuries, and copious blood spray. These graphic elements were deemed too extreme for the game to receive a classification, effectively banning its release in the country. EA Australia has announced that they won’t be appealing the decision or changing Syndicate’s gameplay to meet the Board’s concerns. This decision highlights the ongoing challenges developers face when trying to balance creative vision with regional content regulations.
About Syndicate’s Plot and Gameplay
Syndicate’s plot is set in a dystopian future where the world is no longer governed by politicians. Instead, the developed world is divided into regions controlled by mega-corporations known as syndicates. These syndicates have revolutionized how the consumer interacts with the digital world. Since the consumer requires a device to access the world’s data and control technology, they can do this in the blink of an eye via neural chip implant.

The game promises a rich narrative and immersive gameplay, combining elements of first-person shooting with strategic planning. Players will take on the role of agents working for these powerful syndicates, using advanced technology and weaponry to complete missions. The neural chip implant not only enhances physical abilities but also allows players to hack into enemy systems, manipulate environments, and gain tactical advantages.
The cooperative mode in the demo will give players a chance to experience these mechanics firsthand. Working together, teams of four will need to coordinate their actions, share resources, and support each other to succeed. This mode is expected to be a highlight of the game, offering a unique blend of teamwork and high-octane action.
The upcoming Syndicate Co-op demo is set to provide an exciting preview of what players can expect from the full game. While the classification issues in Australia are unfortunate, the global gaming community eagerly anticipates the chance to dive into this futuristic world. With its innovative gameplay and compelling storyline, Syndicate is poised to make a significant impact upon its release.
