Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena downloadable content starts with map pack

Pre-Order The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena on Xbox 360As seems to be the norm nowadays, even though The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena has yet to be released, downloadable content is already being worked on for the upcoming title.

The new Riddick game will include a multiplayer mode that was originally supposed to be in the first game. The multiplayer will come with a total of 15 maps out of the box, with five additional maps being offered as Downloadable Content after the game’s release (though pricing and release details on the DLC have yet to be announced).

The retail version of Assault on Dark Athena comes with six game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Butcher Bay Riot, Pitch Black and Arena. It’s unknown if the bonus maps will be playable in all modes though.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena releases for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on April 7th, 2009 in the United States and April 24th, 2009 in Europe.

Here’s a new trailer for the game.
