Turokis a classic first-person shooter video game franchise that originated in the late 1990s. The series is based on a comic book character originally published by Western Publishing in 1954 and later by Valiant Comics. The character, Turok, is a Native American warrior who battles dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures, and other foes in a mysterious and dangerous world known as the Lost Land. The first game in the series,Turok: Dinosaur Hunter,was released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64 and Windows PC. It was praised for its cutting-edge graphics, expansive 3D environments, and innovative use of weapons and exploration mechanics.
In 2008, theseries was rebooted with simplyTurok, which took a more modern, gritty approach to the story and gameplay. This version introduced a new protagonist, Joseph Turok, and moved the setting to a distant planet where players faced not only dinosaurs but also human enemies. Nightdive Studios, known for remastering classic games, has broughtTurokback into the spotlight with updated versions for modern platforms, including the recent PS5 and Xbox Series X remaster. These new releases often feature enhanced graphics, smoother performance, and quality-of-life improvements while staying true to the core of what madeTuroka fan favorite. Now, Nightdive Studios has recently revitalized the classicTurokgame with a complete remaster, now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The latest version of theTurokremaster also brings back some long-lost elements from the game’s beta version, such as the Brachiosaurus, which has now been fully integrated into the Treetops level. This nod to the original development not only enhances the game’s nostalgic appeal but also provides players with new challenges and experiences. In addition to visual and gameplay upgrades, the remaster introduces a revamped menu system with a wide range of customization options. Players can now toggle button prompts and mappings, adjust the head bobble, modify the HUD, enable or disable specific graphics settings, and fine-tune audio preferences.
Other quality-of-life improvements include the ability to bind multiple weapons to the same button for quick cycling, enhanced gamepad functionality, and improved vibration support. These updates aim to provide a smoother and more immersive gameplay experience for both new and returning fans of the iconic shooter.
