The game reimagines the essence of Turok, updating it with a modern look, a new story, and a completely revamped gameplay. Players will don the armor of powerful Turok warriors tasked with facing fierce dinosaurs and an impending alien threat aimed at destroying human life in the galaxy. During the adventure, players can tackle the danger solo or in co-op with up to three players.
According to Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive, Turok was one of the first shooters to shape the video game landscape. The decision to revive the franchise stems from the desire to honour this legacy, blending classic elements with fresh, modern gameplay. The goal is to offer an experience that captures the adrenaline and spectacle of the past, but with next-generation technical execution.
Bill Kispert of Universal Products & Experiences highlighted the franchise’s historical value, rooted in its comic book origins, and the commitment to crafting an experience that honors the past while remaining accessible to new players. The new direction of Turok aims to engage both longtime fans and newcomers with a blend of action, story, and jaw-dropping creatures.
In Turok: Origins, players will face dinosaurs, creatures and bosses in intense battles that test skills and strategy. With an arsenal of advanced weapons such as plasma rifles, bows and pump-action shotguns, players can customise and upgrade their gear using DNA extracted from fallen enemies. This unique system will unlock evolutionary powers that enhance characters’ abilities and appearance in real time.
The space setting of the game will take players to explore planets rich in history and danger, among ancient temples, dense jungles and desolate canyons. Each location hides pieces of an engaging and plot-rich story, promising an unforgettable narrative experience.
