While many fans of the old school Syndicate strategy series may not approve of the upcoming reboot of the franchise that turns it into a first person shooter, this new video, which presents the variety of powers that can be wielded by players, might sway quite a lot of people.

Syndicate delighted lots of PC gamers back in the 1990s with its unique setting and nifty strategy mechanics, but Electronic Arts and Starbreeze Studios are now hard at working on a reboot of the series, this time turning it into a first person shooter.

We’ve already seen trailers for the game’s single-player as well as its cooperative multiplayer, and now the team behind it has presented a special video that showcases the special powers that can be wielded by the player throughout the game.

As you can see above, the DART6 chip, which is implanted into the protagonist, allows him to wield some impressive abilities that prove useful pretty much in any situation, especially hectic firefights.

Get ready for Syndicate’s release on February 21, in North America, and February 24, in Europe, for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
