A short teaser clip suggests that the venerable Syndicate brand might be ready for a modern reboot, which could be launched on Kickstarter in the near future.

The clip is offered by a development team called 5Livestudio, which is being led by Mike Diskett, who is the co-creator of Syndicate and the former leader of Bullfrog.

There are references to 1996, the moment when the first title was launched, and the general look of the video suggests the cyberpunk aesthetic that Syndicate pioneered.

The site associated with the project at the moment is Satellite Reign and has a countdown that will end in 36 days.

The name of the game is linked to Electronic Arts, which tried to revive it as a rather uninspired first-person shooter that had none of the charm or the challenge of the original title.
