"This is our own little version of the Orange Box," said Ian Stevens, head of game production for Tigon Studios. "We've sort of gotten the whole band back together."
If you're just joining us, Assault on Dark Athena is a special edition of sorts. On one hand, you're getting a recreated version of the critically acclaimed PC/Xbox title The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay (every model's been redone, the AI's better, there's a new weapon select system, environments are three times the size they once were, etc.) as well as a brand new story that both star Vin Diesel. It's basically two games, but the second part isn't a sequel -- just the continuation of the original game. Picking up exactly where Butcher Bay left off.
