Chronicles of Riddick 2 on the 360?

It’s quite possible that a follow up to 2004’s Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay for the original Xbox may be in the works for the 360, now I say MAY because the news is a couple months old. It was said on an italian 360 website that Chronicles of Riddick 2 was on the release list for 2007, where they got their information is unknown as the Official US Xbox site has no indication of a new Riddick game on the horizon.

David Twohy, the director of the 2004 Riddick film had this to say on the news section of his website at the start of the year :

“If I had to put money on it, I’d say you’re likely to see another game hit your screen before another movie.”

The 2004 game was a benchmark in what the Xbox was capable of as it was the first FPS game on the Xbox to sport normal mapping long before DOOM 3 and also used softer shadowing providing for spectacular visuals. With the technology we have with the 360 we can only imagine what the next chapter of Riddick may look like.
