Riddick's next-gen remake delayed until 2008

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360

Legend has it, there were people - humans - that actually enjoyed the Chronicles of Riddick film, starring The Pacifier himself, Vin Diesel. Those "people" are now in the dark on the real status of a sequel - or sequels, as it was envisioned - but fans of the wow-it's-really-pretty-good Chronicles of Riddick video game were looking forward to a next-gen remake, dubbed Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena touching down in 2007.

Unfortunately, Sierra has confirmed that Riddick will join the rest of the delayed games this year, and be pushed back until 2008. The game's original developer, Starbreeze Studios, are back to "reinvent" their effort with an additional chapter, some online multiplayer, and of course high-definition muscles for our Riddick character (those have to be just right).
