Returning to the critically acclaimed world of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, Vivendi Games today announced a reinvention of the 2004 Xbox title for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3.
Working alongside Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group, Vin Diesel's Tigon Studios and Starbreeze Studios, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena promises an exciting new storyline and gameplay features.
Expanding upon the Butcher Bay storyline of the original, Assault on Dark Athena extends the storyline with all-new content and bolsters the experience with intense multiplayer action. Introducing the ominous Merc ship, Dark Athena, players must face a large, bloodthirsty operation led by Captain Revas and her enslaved combat drones.
"The Chronicles of Riddick is a genre defining game that helped shape the modern first-person shooter," said Al Simone, senior vice president, global marketing for Sierra Entertainment. "We are proud to not only take this 'Best in Class' title to the next level for both the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, but to create a new single-player experience and multi-player campaigns for a truly robust product offering."
"When the original The Chronicles of Riddick game exploded on the scene, gamers were taken with its fantastic graphics and hard-hitting gameplay," said Bill Kispert, Vice President and General Manager, Interactive, Universal Pictures. "We are excited to now introduce new players to this character and world, while thrilling existing fans with the surprises and additional features this edition will offer."
"The Riddick universe is incredibly rich source material for creating on-going stories and games," said Cos Lazouras, Head of Production, Tigon Studios. "This next chronicle will take us to new, dark corners of that universe, which when combined with Starbreeze's fantastic next-gen techonology, will deliver the compelling player experience gamers have come to expect of Riddick."
"We're very happy to be working in the Riddick universe again." said Ian Stevens, Lead Game Designer, Starbreeze Studios. "Assault on Dark Athena gives us an opportunity to revisit the original game and share it with a new audience, as well as offer a continuation of the Butcher Bay gameplay and storyline. We're also thrilled to be bringing Multiplayer to the game."
