• The project initially began as a remake of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (2004) with an added chapter. But after former publisher Vivendi merged with Activision, the game was 'dropped', giving developer Starbreeze time to increase the scope of the game, turning the added chapter into a full sequel. The game re-emerged in this state shortly after Atari was announced as the new publisher.

• Originally the driving force behind this game was the fact that The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (2004) could not be made backwards compatible with the Xbox 360.
