Riddick and Johns in hibernation on board of a ship deep in space.
A group of renegade mercenaries finds them and brings them on board of their giant ship called the Dark Athena where they transform people into mindless drones.
Of course Johns is a too valuable target to transform so they plan to collect the bounty that is on his head after he freed Riddick from the prison.
Riddick on the other hand - well he managed to evade capture and is now really pissed.
As in the first campaign, the player once again assumes the role of Riddick, controlling him a standard first person shooter fashion through the corridors of the ship.
But Riddick isn't one who runs guns blazing through the enemies.
Instead the dark is his friend.
Hiding in the shadows he uses his special ability to see in the dark, sneak up on enemies and perform an instant melee kill with whatever weapon he has currently equipped.
This not only applies to his melee weapons that range from his fists to the newly double-carved blades but called "Ulaks" but also to the bigger stuff he'll find on his journey like assault rifles, a mini-gun and such.
If he hasn't a gun available, he can pick up a dead drone and use hers.
At one point in the single player campaign he'll even take over the control of a full-blown mech to reek havoc on the ship as he did back in Escape from Butcher Bay.
If an enemy manages to actually hit the player, Riddick can use NanoMED health units to replenish his health.
Since these only have a limited amount of charges he can refill them with NanoMED Catridges scattered around the levels.
The bigger NanoMED health units permanently increase his health.

About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2009.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
