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 titleThe Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Much like the beginning of any properRiddickmovie, the trailer features a brilliant but chilling narrative by the game’s antihero Riddick. More importantly, it illustrates a point that Hamza drove homein his preview today– the game’s developer Starbreeze is doing much more than simply remakingEscape from Butcher Bay.
Dark Athenawill 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 Athenawill 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.
