Starbreeze’s CEO Mikael Nermark has said that while he’s “proud” of their efforts to reboot Syndciate, the title was a “lost battle”.

“If we didn’t do an exact copy of the game, they’d hate us. If we did do an exact copy, they’d say we didn’t innovate. They were never ours to win; it was a lost battle from the get-go.”
Syndicate received generally luke-warm to positive reviews, but the sales of the title has proved to be insufficient at best. To read the whole interview, head on over through the link above.
