Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena – Trailer

It is no secret to regular listeners of the (Cool) Shite podcast that I love the Riddick universe. The movies where great and I was blown away by the scope of world building the David Twohy had created. Riddick even had a video game called Escape from Butchers Bay come out at the same time as Chronicles of Riddick. This game for me was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences I had on the first generation XBOX. Not only did it expand the universe but it was a tight, well crafted game as well.

Skip forward to now, and we have a new Riddick game coming out for XBOX360, PS3 and PC. Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is scheduled to come out sometime in 2009 and I for one cannot wait. Not only do we get new Riddick, but they have also remade Butchers Bay to bring it to a whole new audience. It isn’t often that I get excited to replay a game I completed over 4 years ago, but this has me completely jazzed. Check out the trailer below and then jump over the Game Trailers to see all the walkthrou videos by the developers showing the cool and funky improvements they have done.

Overview (From IMDB)

Featuring a remastered edition of ‘The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay’(2004) as well as a new full-length campaign, ‘Assault on Dark Athena’ picks up moments after Riddick’s escape. In flight away from the prison, Riddick and Johns’ vessel is drawn into the clutches of a mercenary ship called the Dark Athena. Johns is taken captive while Riddick manages to awake from cryo-sleep and evade capture. With mercenaries in pursuit of the bounty on Riddick’s head, Riddick must do what he does best – kill those who get in his way and escape.

Also they have Lance Henriksen voice acting with Vin Diesel and the to me just makes it more awesome.
