The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena includes two single-player campaigns. One is a graphically enhanced version of Escape from Butcher Bay , and the other, called Assault on Dark Athena , continues the story almost directly after the end of Escape from Butcher Bay with 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 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, he uses stealth to sneak up on enemies and perform an instant melee kill with whatever weapon he has currently equipped. This applies to his melee weapons, as well as bigger items like assault rifles and mini-guns. If needed, he can pick up a dead drone and use it to attack. At one point in the single-player campaign, he'll even take control of a full-blown mech to wreak havoc on the ship. If an enemy hits Riddick, he can use NanoMED health units to replenish his health. Since these have limited charges, he can refill them with NanoMED Catridges scattered around the levels.

Completely new to the game is the multiplayer mode, allowing up to 12 players to compete against each other in several game modes, including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Arena, Butcher Bay Riot, and Pitch Black. In Arena, up to four players engage in one-on-one or two-on-two fights while others spectate. Butcher Bay Riot puts three teams against each other with each team buying their gear before each round. The goal is to reach the power node located in the middle of the map without getting eliminated. The last game mode, Pitch Black, puts everyone in a dark area where one player plays Riddick and another player plays a merc, using flashlights to hunt him down.
