Following a marathon hands-on session with the upcoming rebirth of the Turok series on next-gen machines, Gameplayer declare it a success in this in-depth hands-on account.
"The ferociousness of the attack demands all our attention as jaws lined with inch-long teeth snatch hungrily at our own neck. With both hands we push back, holding death at bay and when the first wave of strength fades from our reptilian threat, we bring our knife down into the side of its head. Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!"
After releasing remasters of all three original Turok games, starting with the first two games in 2021 and then Turok 3 in 2023, Nightdive Studios has quietly updated the first Turok game with a native PS5 update.
Beyond the bug fixes and general cleaning-up that comes with most patches these days, the big thing about the PS5 version for the original Turok is that if you have a TV that can support it, you’ll be able to play Turok at 120FPS now.

The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.
I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.
I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.
Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.
And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.
I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.
Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.
We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.
Awesome picture of the player fighting a T-rex in the article.
Also it talks about a third species of giants bugs and crabs and shtuff, along with some new creatures.
Not to mention the 14 hour-long campaign and multiplayer modes.
I was getting a little worried about Turok the last couple weeks, but this has reaffirmed my belief that I'll love the game.
I too had some fears about this game after seeing some early work-ups, dinos looked a little too cell shaded. after watching a the latest vids i'm sold. This will be the next game I buy!
P.S I hope they bring back the cerebral bore.
