Making quite a splash, Atari has announced that the upcoming remake of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena will feature new content that amounts to a 10-hour single-player sequel.

Joystiq reports that the new campaign packs “new game mechanics, full game production values… the works,” with Big Download noting that it is a direct sequel to the original and will be immediately accessible upon booting the game.

The upcoming title will feature a new multiplayer mode and an enhanced version of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. It is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in Spring 2009.
