Riddick Remake Packs Sequel
Making quite a splash, Atari has announced that the upcoming remake of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena will feature new content that amounts to a 10-hour single-player sequel.
Joystiq reports that the new campaign packs “new game mechanics, full game production values… the works,” with Big Download noting that it is a direct sequel to the original and will be immediately accessible upon booting the game.
Apparently, the game’s delay has been the cause for the new content. When Sierra dropped the game and Atari picked it up, it gave them nine months to work on new content.
The upcoming title will feature a new multiplayer mode and an enhanced version of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. It is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in Spring 2009.
