Riddick: The Merc Files

You might’ve heard aboutRiddick: The Merc Files, a new iOS game that was frightening to see crop up so close to the news that Vin Diesel, Tigon Studios, and some ex-Starbreeze developers areworking on aRiddickgame. These are two separate projects, seemingly — Diesel originally referenced “a greatRiddickapp” before discussing “the third chapter” of the series for “my die-hard gamers.” Listen to the originalvideo interviewand see if you agree.

Former Starbreeze executives Nicklas Dunham and Jens Larsson are attached toThe Merc Files— they established a new company called Gaming Corps, which worked on the game with Diesel’s Tigon. Interestingly, Gaming Corpsdescribes itself as“a complete studio aiming for all the major gaming platforms no matter if it’s an AAA development for the hardcore audience or a social game implemented on Facebook.”
