5Lives Studios reveal Kickstarter countdown, suggest 'Syndicate successor'

I'll have to wait 35 days until I can know for sure, but 5Lives Studios is the source of this mystery.

EA "never set out to 'remake' Syndicate," potential "huge, with a lot of options"
We had a chat with EA Partners executive producer Jeff Gamon about Syndicate, and he says they've been "trying to get it made for ages," and Starbreeze aligned as "ideal partners". There's been a "core of people" trying to get Syndicate up and running again, but they "never set out to 'remake'" the classic IP - it was about bringing it back "to a new audience."
There's "scope to remake" classic Syndicate, "purely speculative"
EA and Starbreeze Studios are developing Syndicate as a first-person shooter for PC and consoles, but EA Partners' Jeff Gamon ponders the original. The Bullfrog title was "such a classic," and there's "scope to remake it," he says. Going down the "strategic route" better on PC and mobile than console.
