The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

celebrityscraps | February 19, 2009

This game slipped past my radar until now, and I have to say I’m looking forward to its release.

I played the Director’s cut of ‘The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay’ and loved it! Judging from the trailer for it’s going to be more of the same shiv happy action.

‘Assault on Dark Athena’ picks up moments after Riddick’s escape from Butcher Bay. In flight away from the prison, Riddick and Johns’ vessel is drawn into the clutches of a mercenary ship called the Dark Athena. Johns is taken captive while Riddick manages to awake from cryo-sleep and evade capture. With mercenaries in pursuit of the bounty on Riddick’s head, Riddick must do what he does best - kill those who get in his way and escape.

An extra bonus is that a fully remade version of ‘Escape from Butcher Bay’ using the new game engine will also be included with the title!
