Game features 6 cross platform multi-player modes
Atari and Virtual Programming have launched The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. The game includes a HD remastering of the previous game in the series, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Both games are prequels to the movies Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. The games feature the voice of Vin Diesel, reprising his role from the movies. Other voice talents include Lance Henricksen (Aliens), Wade Williams (Prison Break) and Michelle Forbes (Battlestar Galactica).
Assault on Dark Athena features an 11-hour saga that finds Riddick unwillingly taken aboard a huge mercenary ship, the Dark Athena. There are six online multiplayer game modes including a unique Pitch Black mode in which grunts armed with flashlights and guns scour a pitch-black arena for Riddick. It is a stealth combat game that supports cross platform multiplayer gaming and has improved artificial intelligence compared to the Butcher Bay release.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena requires Mac OS X 10.6.3 and a minimum 2.16GHz Intel CPU. A GeForce 8600, Radeon 2400HD or better video card and 1GB of RAM are also required. The game is now available for $50.
