Game Description

Riddick returns for a heavy new dose of sci-fi action that picks up right after the Pitch Black prequel, Escape From Butcher Bay.

Leading the way is the harrowing Pitch Black Mode, where one player takes the role of Riddick, and the rest get flashlights, guns, and the chance to take him down...in the dark, of course!
