New Riddick trailer shows darkness, also gameplay

Recommended Videos

If there’s anything that gets me more excited than a new Vin Diesel movie, it’s a new Vin Diesel game. Above is a trailer for the upcoming title The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Much like the beginning of any proper Riddick movie, the trailer features a brilliant but chilling narrative by the game’s antihero Riddick. More importantly, it illustrates a point that Hamza drove home in his preview today – the game’s developer Starbreeze is doing much more than simply remaking Escape from Butcher Bay.

Dark Athena will feature enhanced visuals, new character models, and a wide assortment of new content. The game will retain that characteristic mix of FPS action, grittiness, and stealth that the majority of players came to love from the previous title.

Dark Athena will be hitting the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC in Spring 2009. It’s a long wait, but it seems as though it will be worth it.
