Gamers on the Gamescom Trade Fair in Germany were treated to the first glimpse of “Turok: Origins”, a reboot of the long-floating series Dinosaurus who once fascinated Nintendo 64 owners in the 1990s.
The original Turok started life in the comic books of the 1950s before he went his way to consoles, where it developed a cult supporter.
The mix of bow-and-arrow action and prehistoric landscapes stood out, but the franchise faded after weaker follow-up titles, including a poorly received restart in 2008.
Now the American developer Sabre Interactive, known for breathing in new life in franchises such as Evil Dead and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, has taken up the challenge. Studio -Head Jesus Iglesias told AFP: “It has slept for a long time.”
He added: “Sabre Interactive is known for taking, occasionally, a few dead IPs and restarting, as we did with (Warhammer 40,000’s) ‘Space Marine’, we did with ‘Evil Dead’.”
Universal Studios, which produces the Jurassic Park films and owns the Turok building, tapped Sabel to redevelop the series in 2020. The result, an example of Gamescom, looks like a hybrid from Jurassic Park and Predator.
The new game, which had 250 developers at its peak, promises both modes with one player and multiplayer. Saber says that the goal has to remain faithful to the first two Turok games and at the same time modernize experience with smoother movement and cinematic stories.
Although no release date has been established, Turok: Origins will be available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, a character revived that many people thought for a long time.
