Evidence that Starbreeze and Electronic Arts are working together on a new Syndicate game has come to light.

Electronic Arts has filed a number of trademarks based on the Syndicate name and a source close to GamesIndustry.biz has confirmed that a new game, labelled Project RedLime has been in development since 2007. An official announcement is expected shortly.

The Syndicate series is a series of isometric science fiction computer games created by Bullfrog Productions. There are two main titles in the series: Syndicate (1993/1994) and Syndicate Wars (1996), with an expansion pack for the former, Syndicate: American Revolt.

Gameplay involves ordering a team of four cyborg agents around gritty cyberpunk-themed cities, in pursuit of mission goals such as assassinating executives of a rival syndicate, rescuing captured allies, "persuading" civilians and scientists to join the Corporation/Church, demolishing buildings, or simply killing all enemy agents.
