Syndicate to release a 4-player co-op demo

With Syndicate set to come out next month, Starbreeze Studios and EA have decided to give a little preview and a sneak peek coming later this month.

A 4-player co-op demo will be made available where you and three of your friends will be able to play through an entire mission of one of the nine missions that will be available on the game.

The mission, called “Western Europe”, will have you infiltrate a rival syndicate, Cayman Global, take out a Colonel, take some technology blueprints and force his people back across the Atlantic.

The demo will be available for a short time only later this month on the Xbox Live Marketplace (gold members only) and the Playstation network. As for a PC version, nothing has been said.

Here’s a video of how things will look like:

On a side news, Good Old Games has announced that it will start selling the original Syndicate from 1993 starting this Thursday for the price of $6.

GOG are also giving away copies of the game in a contest where participants will have to create their own team name and method of operation:

Mission:
Assemble your team of cyborgs, give us your Team Name, Method of Operation, and any other relevant information you’d like. Go on, spread your influence across the globe and tell us how.

Bounty:
1 free copy of Syndicate for the 10 posters who have the best Syndicate team. We’ll be reading through all of your posts (Hello, discordiac, our new marketing manager who “volunteered” for this job!) and picking the ones that we like best.

Rules:
1. Only one entry post per user. Feel free to comment & edit until the contest closes.
2. You may enter into similar contests that we are running on Twitter and Facebook, but only once via each different channel.
3. We will be picking 10 of our favorite teams from this thread to win their free copies of Syndicate.
4. The contest will end on Thursday the 19th of January 2012 at 7:00 AM EST.
