Virtual Programming and Atari have announced today that the latest
chapter in the Riddick franchise, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault
on Dark Athena (http://atari.com/riddick/), is coming to the Mac.

The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena contains a brand new
full-length Riddick campaign in addition to a pixel-by-pixel remake
of the title, (i)Escape from Butcher Bay.(/I) In addition to the
single player action, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark
Athena brings Riddick into the multiplayer arena for the first time,
with six online multiplayer combat modes including the Pitch Black
mode.

Here's how the game is described: "Reprising his role as Riddick, Vin
Diesel brings his unique vocal talent to The Chronicles of Riddick:
Assault on Dark Athena, creating a powerful anti-hero with a talent
for chilling one-liners. Diesel is joined by a high calibre cast of
actors including Lance Henriksen, Wade Williams, William Morgan
Sheppard, and Michelle Forbes who brings depth and weary malevolence
to Riddick's chief adversary on the Dark Athena, Captain Revas.
Starbreeze Studios' proprietary 'vo-cap' technology ensures that
every nuance of the actors' vocal and physical performance ends up in
the game, creating a uniquely absorbing experience.

"In The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena the player
takes the role of Riddick, as played by Diesel, using stealth and
action to overcome the merciless crew of the predatory Merc-ship Dark
Athena which awaits its prey in the dark reaches of space. Cheating
death through a series of spectacular battles and events, Riddick
will fight for his life amid a storm of malevolence and horror. The
Chronicles of Riddick series of games takes the player deeper into
the universe of Universal Pictures' films The Chronicles of Riddick
and cult classic Pitch Black, which first introduced Diesel as
enigmatic anti-hero.
