One of a handful of developers that has proven it can release quality, entertaining film-based adaptations, Starbreeze Studios, has stated that one of its projects with EA has been cancelled. In a recent GI.biz report, the studio confirmed that a pre-production phase title in partnership with the publisher has been canned -- but plans are still in place to collaborate on another "big production."
Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson told GI.biz that despite this cancelled project, their relationship with EA is "stronger than ever," and "the aim now is to spend more resources on the game" -- one of the two the duo had planned -- "that demonstrated the greatest potential." This mysterious title is in "full production," but what exactly it is, is anyone's guess. We only hope it has something to do with Riddick. Or a dude with tentacle arms.

Pretty fun. Still occassionlly play Pitch Black mode online from time to time.
I picked up The Darkness based solely on the fact
that it was the same studio and I loved it. Sta breeze makes good games.
And I guess some of you kids are too young to remember how fucking awesome Syndicate was. You could set people on fire!
I never tried out the multiplayer for some reason. Might have to give that a go someday, assuming anyone still plays.
Either way, I would, without a doubt, buy a new Riddick game on day one. He is one of my favorite anti-heroes of all time.
Please.
