Vivendi Universal Games, in association with Vin Diesel's Tigon Studios, announced that their PC action game The Chronicles of Riddick : Escape From Butcher Bay - Developer's Cut has shipped to retail stores in the United States.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay was released in July for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft.
Set before the events of the two films which starred Vin Diesel as the anti-hero Riddick -this summer's The Chronicles of Riddick and the 2000 cult classic Pitch Black- the highly-acclaimed game puts players in the role of the enigmatic Riddick and tells the story of his dramatic escape from the previously inescapable triple-max security prison Butcher Bay, home to the most violent convicts in the galaxy. The new PC Developer's Cut offers players exclusive content, developer commentary from the team at Starbreeze Studios, and a new arena where players can test their survival skills against some of the most hardened criminals in the galaxy.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay - Developer's Cut immerses players in the savage nightmare of Butcher Bay prison with voice performances by an impressive cast, including: Vin Diesel as Riddick, Cole Hauser, Kristin Lehman, Xzibit, Ron Perlman and Michael Rooker. Blending action and stealth elements, the game takes players on a journey through the harsh environments of the slam - dank tunnels, dimly lit corridors, and other hazardous areas filled with enemy guards, savage inmates and deadly creatures that prowl the darkness. Developed by Starbreeze Studios the game carries a suggested retail price of USD 29.95.
