Four Minutes of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
Don't Call Her
by Coop
Atari's remake/reimagining/rerelease of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is going to be called Assault on Dark Athena. I haven't been following Pitch Black continuity, so I really have no idea what that name implies. What I do know, however, is that the game keeps looking better and better. Other than, of course, remaking the original game, huge multiplayer additions have been announced and a second full-length singleplayer mode has been added to sweeten the already alluring package.
Tonight at 8PM, G4 will have the game's producer on to discuss the title, and will lead the store with the above four minute cinematic, showing Vin Diesel's Riddick being extremely stealthy. He's also being sort of creepy, taking stuff out of people's hair like some sort of creep.
The game is scheduled for a spring release for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, so be sure to check back to see exactly what Dark Athena has planned for gamers.

I've been watching this for a while now and can't wait for it to finally become GOLD. Also, I do follow the continuity of the story. Butcher Bay is the original prison that Riddick escaped from.
Here's the timeline:
1) Butcher Bay
2) Pitch Black
3) Dark Fury
4) Chronicles of Riddick
So, somewhere in the middle-ish part is where Dark Athena would actually take place. My guess would be right after Dark Fury and before Chronicles. The timeline is so obscure it doesn't make sense, but that's the best I can supply.

Jonz dies in Pitch Black and it looks like that's the same ship they escaped Butcher's Bay in, so my guess is this is right after Escape From Butcher's Bay before they got on the personnel transport in Pitch Black.
I love Riddick. He needs another decent movie.
Yeah, I think that this occurs immediately after they escape from triple-max security at Butcher Bay.
Pitch Black was such an awesome movie, never saw Chronicles. Any good?
i enjoyed Chronicles and Pitch Black. They were both good in their own right, thought Chronicles was a bit more Hollywood. As for the game, i can't wait, i do like anything Riddick :)

Why do bad things always happen to poor Vin Diesel?
