The new Riddick game is real, and heading to iOS

MCV Staff 18th September 2013 Business News

The third Riddick game unearthed online last week is real… but is also likely not what you expected.

Eurogamer reports that Riddick: The Merc Files is due out on iOS on Friday September 20th. Its development team includes some who previously worked on Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.

This ties in with Vin Diesel’s recent comments, when he stated: "My diehard gamers want Tigon to deliver the third chapter in the Riddick game. And we just of the past couple of months, just this year, reassembled that team from Starbreeze that brought Escape from Butcher Bay to create the third game."

The game is a stealth-based action title with a very different visual approach than previous Riddick titles, which you can see in the video below.

It’s being developed by both Vin Diesel’s own Tigon Studios and Swedish Studio Gaming Corps, which was founded by former Starbreeze devs Nicklas Dunham and Jens Larsson.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
