This is the first four minutes of Starbreeze and Tigon Studios’ Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.

The footage is the game's opening cinematic. It begins with one of those penetrating Riddick monologues, before cutting to a looming Dark Athena. The Dark Athena soon captures Riddick’s smaller ship, but he is able to hide before the unwelcome visitors board.

It's a fact: waking abruptly from cryosleep does not cause grogginess. As he hides, Riddick displays his curious knack for snatching personal objects. Starbreeze nails the character so well.

When I talked to Starbreeze, they seemed as excited as I am about the title. “The consensus within Starbreeze is that this is our best game thus far,” the studio said. “It’s the biggest game we’ve ever made and the most polished game we’ve ever made.”
