Chronicles of Riddick - Assault on Dark Athena to be launched

Assault on Dark Athena will be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 before the end of the year.

The remake is said to be titled The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, with the report indicating that the game will feature an extended single-player campaign, brand-new online multiplayer and a developer's commentary mode.

There will be around 50 per cent more single-player content to get stuck into - taking place on board the scavenger ship Dark Athena - and an online multiplayer mode will be included.

Commentary is also expected to feature in a similar way to the Developer's Cut remake on PC, as is the obvious graphical spit-shine to show off the new floating terrafloppy-tehcnotrons.

The Chronicles of Riddick appeared on Xbox, based on the 2004 film of the same name.
