Starbreeze polish Escape from Butcher Bay and toss in Dark Athena as a bonus, two outstanding narrative FPS experiences. Vin Diesel growls perfectly, the cellblock immersion is still a benchmark, and the melee carries rare weight.

Chronicles of Riddick, The - Assault on Dark Athena (Xbox 360) price, value & rarity
Is Chronicles of Riddick, The - Assault on Dark Athena still worth playing in 2026?
An action and stealth game from Starbreeze, Assault on Dark Athena bundles the remaster of the remarkable Escape from Butcher Bay with a new campaign, following the antihero Riddick voiced by Vin Diesel. The blend of first person stealth, brutal melee combat and oppressive prison atmosphere stays of rare intensity. The new campaign pales a little against the original. An excellent game for fans of muscular stealth, dark atmosphere and successful film adaptations on Xbox 360.
