Satellite Reign is the "spiritual successor" to Syndicate, and it does look rather good. The game will fully launch next month, so here's a fancy launch trailer for you.
I've played a little bit of it myself, and it does seem quite enjoyable. It's only a little bit like Syndicate though, which I think is a good thing.
It will fully release on Steam, Humble and GOG on the 28th of August 2015.
About the game (Official)
Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game, set in an open-world cyberpunk city. You command a group of 4 agents through rain-soaked, neon-lit streets, where the law is the will of mega-corporations. Use your agents to sneak, shoot, steal, and sabotage your way up the corporate ladder, and take control of the most powerful monopoly of all time.
Each of your agents can be tailored toward your favoured play-style, while still maintaining their own unique specialisations. Shape your team into an offensive war machine, or an elite covert spec-ops outfit, and take the open-world city as your own.
For those interested, you can grab it on Steam in Early Access right now. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

This is shaping up to be a really good game. I bought into the early access, and although I didn't have time to play much of it, the little I played was really fun. Looking forward to the full game.

Ah, yeah, I'm really looking forward for this game (I didn't know it was so close to its release). It looks like Deus Ex gone RTS. I'm really excited.
The new trailer looks fantastic again; and I like the music. Would be great if the game gets released together with the soundtrack; maybe on GOG.com.

I’m not a fan of squad/party-based games but I want to like this…
Sinners, go buy Syndicate and Syndicate Wars on GOG. They are fantastic games, and are the predecessor to Satellite Reign. Though Deus Ex is very awesome as well, Syndicate came out many moons previously. I beat it on my friend's Amiga 500.
Been playing Satellite Reign a ton the last two days, it's awesome!

Not sure why you'd refer to that as a bad PC port, since they were all released at the same time, and much like any other game of that period, the Amiga version had the best music.
D'oh! Was just playing Satellite Reign some more, successfully sneaked past some guards and got into where I was trying to, and it crashed straight to the desktop.... Meh, it's beta and is still damned fun!
Sadly most games I get stuck or bored with pretty quickly, mainly 'cause I don't have a lot of time these days to play. But I've been waiting for this one for a long time, and am already progressing rather nicely in it.
One major difference between it and Syndicate, is that you don't have different parts of the world that you travel to (at least insofar that I am in the game) it looks more like you have large sections of a massive city sprawl you go about and do missions in, and then you unlock other parts of the city. It's actually probably more akin to many cyberpunk backgrounds in that way.
