Sierra Entertainment dropped word to Pro-G that the next-gen Riddick title, Assault on Dark Athena, has been delayed until 2008. No reason was given for the delay as of yet.
The game is scheduled to be a port of the Xbox hit Escape from Butcher Bay, but will add some extra levels and multiplayer to complement the game’s enhanced graphics.
I’m not surprised this game has slipped to 2008. We haven’t seen anything new since the first trailer, which was more a proof of concept than anything else. Either way, this game is going to be terrific when it finally ships.
IGN showed off a trailer from the new Riddick game coming for Xbox 360 and PS3. It takes the original Riddick and adds on a bunch of extra single player after you escape from Butcher Bay. Oh yeah, there’s multiplayer too.
The sleeper Xbox hit, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay will be updated with new graphics as well as new content and a new online multiplayer mode later this year reports computerandvideogames. For those of us who were taken back by this game several years ago, this announcement comes as a great surprise as well as a reason to take a shank to a fellow prisoner. The hand to hand combat at the game’s initial release was ahead of its time and the voice acting was on point. To see this game in high def and another play through with some new missions will be worth the price of admission.
