Rosario Dawson and Brian Cox to star in Syndicate

The forthcoming reboot of the classic Syndicate franchise is set to feature vocal performances from some big-name Hollywood stars, EA has announced.

Rosario Dawson, Brian Cox and Michael Wincott will headline the voice cast of Starbreeze Studios' Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC shooter, which is set in a future world ruled by ruthless, warring mega-corporations.

Manhunter and The Bourne Identity star Cox will play Jack Denham, the unscrupulous powerbroker behind EuroCorp, while noted character actor Wincott will play Aspari Corporation senior agent Jules Merit.

Meanwhile, Sin City and Grindhouse actress Dawson will take on the role of EuroCorp rising star Lily Drawl, the conflicted designer of the superpowered military chips within the heads of players and other characters in the Syndicate world.

The star said: "I'm amazed how videogames have become so deep in story, delivering fantastic worlds and memorable characters rivalling big Hollywood films."

Syndicate hits stores next week and is a revival of Bullfrog Productions' acclaimed 1990s action series, featuring an in-depth story and four-player cooperative modes.
