Here's one rumor I am extremely happy to verify and modify, as UK industry mag MCV confirms that Starbreeze is indeed working on bringing the 'seven shades of fantastic' Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay to next-gen consoles.

The new title will be CoR: Assault on Dark Athena, named after the scavenger ship on which the additional single player content takes place on, supposedly extending the solo experience by 40%. On top of that, the game will also feature a multiplayer mode as well as the developer's commentary that was included on the PC version of the original.

Being an inordinately large Riddick fan (I own a pair of his curved dagger thingies), I am extremely excited to get another shot at Butcher Bay. Hell, the thought of just playing the original one again is compelling enough...new content and multiplayer are just icing on the cake. Just one question - How do I get eyes like those?
