Almost close to a decade ago was the release of Turok on last-generation hardware. We saw the release for Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for Xbox One as well as PlayStation 4. Additionally, the title was also welcomed to Nintendo Switch as well which included the same suite of improvements Night Dive Studios injected into the other versions.
Currently, Turok is back on the radar this past December as well. At The Game Awards, Saber Interactive announced ‘Turok Origins’. Said to be the newest “evolution” of the franchise being the first new release in nearly three decades, Turok Origins offers a new experience that players can indulge along or cooperatively with up to three friends as you fight off a new alien threat as Turok warriors.
Now in a recent surprise release, Night Dive Studios announced that the initial Turok game is available for Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5. “Grab your controllers and get ready to rock… with Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. Now available on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5!” the developer writes in a post on Reddit.
