Vin Diesel is back, as a PS3 Video Game character, in the Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.

In this upcoming Playstation 3 game, Vin Diesel lends his voice and character looks to the game’s plot, gameplay and Pitch Black series development. Although not much is said about the actual story, the PS3 Chronicles of Riddick trailer below looks pretty damn good. I mostly enjoyed the fighting part where you hold the enemy by the neck as you punch them…seems a little more interactive.

The new Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena for the PS3 is scheduled for release for the Spring of 2009.
