The Chronicles of Riddick Pre-order Bonus

May 24, 2004

Vivendi announced today that it is offering a special pre-order bonus for gamers hip enough to reserve a copy of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay at select retailers. What will those in the pre-know get? A bonus DVD stuffed with Riddick goodies, that's what. And here's what's on it:

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay interactive Mini Hint Guide
A complete, interactive walk-through of one of the game's compelling levels
The trailer for The Chronicles of Riddick(tm) film
Combo trailer with sneak peaks of movies, games, and new anime DVD Dark Fury
A Butcher Bay fly-through, revealing the game's intricately rendered prison world
Background of the anti-hero Richard B. Riddick
An introduction to the game's innovative "Normal Mapping" graphic technology
A listing of websites that tie into the Riddick universe and franchise

If you've been following our coverage of the Riddick game so far, you know we're pretty darned excited about the sweet graphics, smooth game play, and its potential as a worthy first-person tide-me-over until Halo 2 arrives.

Of course, there's also the movie, strangely touched by Judi Dench, and for which we have a dedicated site for all the latest info. Visit and be enlightened.

The game is set for release early next month. Look for more Chronicles of Riddick news as it emerges.
