The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Gets Release Date
Coming to PC, PS3, and 360 in April

Those looking forward to The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena won’t have to wait much longer, as Atari has just announced that the game will ship on April 7 in North America. Of course, this date has been listed at GameStop for about two months now, but hearing it from Atari makes it super, ultra official. (Oddly, GameStop’s website has the PS3 version of the game shipping May 7, but I’m going to assume that’s a typo or something.) European Riddick fans can get the game on April 24, and a demo will be coming to Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network next month.
We had a chance to check out Assault on Dark Athena at New York Comic Con last month, and it seemed pretty promising. Check out the full press release below for more info.

i am interested, though I highly doubt i will pick this up on launch date, especially considering KZ2 and MLB 09 drop each week leading up to it.
I wonder if I'll still be broke in April?
YAY!
