    The Rid**** on Xbox was classic. Hopefully this 1 is more of the same.

      Status Update - The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

      Seemingly forever ago, Vivendi and developer Starbreeze announced The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, a next-gen remake of their cult hit Xbox game, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. But after that announcement, the game seemingly dropped off of the radar. The general consensus among gamers was that it had been quietly cancelled. I can tell you today, happily, that it is still coming along and seems to be closer to release than you'd think.

      I contacted Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson through e-mail, and he informed me that

      "We are certianly working on it, and we are almost done actually and the game looks great. We are just waiting for the marketing campaign to get started now."

      He didn't give me a time frame for release, but it seems like it will hopefully be out sooner rather than later.

      The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena includes the full single-player campaign from Escape from Butcher Bay along with a brand new single-player campaign as well as brand new multiplayer modes. It is coming out for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 sometime this year.

      Glad to see this hasn't been canceled. I was getting worried, because we haven't got any info for over a year.

            Definitely good news, I hadn't heard anything of the game in a year! A remake and a new single player campaign?? Wow, sounds nice.

              nice, too bad the xbox game isn't BC because they didn't want to hurt the sales of this game. $60 for an upgraded, much delayed xbox game.

                  Gamereactor

                  One of the "casualties" of the recent Activision Blizzard merger was the sequel to the 2005 hit The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay by Swedish developer Starbreeze. Activision Blizzard will not be publishing the game, and are seeking to sell it to another publisher, leaving the developer hanging.

                  Initially The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena was meant to be an HD re-make of the original with an extra chapter on board the mercenary ship Dark Athena added on. However, according to what Gamereactor has learnt from publisher sources development shifted soon after its announcement in May 2007 to be a full on sequel and the HD re-make plans were scrapped. No official confirmation of this has yet been issued and in fact nothing has been revealed about the game after its initial announcement.

                  We contacted the CEO of Starbreeze Studios Johan Kristiansson with a few questions on how the hunt for a new publisher was going, and the status on their other game "Project Redlime" to be published by EA (announced in February 2008). However, he only wanted to share a brief statement with us, as matters are still unresolved:

                  "You have many interesting questions, but unfortunately I am not at liberty to share any information regarding this yet.

                  I can only say that we are in the final stage of the Riddick production and that work is progressing very well. We are very happy with the game, and hope to be able to reveal more information soon."

                      I hope this doesn't affect the Darkness sequel.

                      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                          that's why Activision sucks worse than EA ever did. They cut "risky" titles from their portfolio, in favor of multiple versions of guitar hero a year.
